I am a linguist currently working towards my PhD at the University of Michigan 📸. Broadly, my research interests lie within theoretical syntax and its interface with semantics. More specifically, I am interested in the nature and mechanics of syntactic movement, emergent phenomena in natural language, and the syntax and semantics of Raising-to-Object and Tough-constructions. Additionally, I have a strong interest in the philosophy of language and mind, particularly as it relates to the conceptual questions underlying contemporary Minimalist syntactic theory.Â
