about me

I grew up in Cameroon, where I studied linguistics at the University of Buea. I completed my PhD in 2024 at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) as a MINI-ARC Research Fellow.

I have been qualified by the CNU (French National Council of Universities) for the position of Associate Professor (Maître de conférences) in section 7, Linguistics.

My research interests are in language description, documentation, and typology, with a particular focus on the Masa languages, a branch within the Chadic division of the Afroasiatic phylum.

My current postdoctoral project focuses on the interpretation of non-iconic verb doubling, i.e., cases where a verb is repeated without conveying increase. The study focuses on Gizey, an under-documented language of the Masa branch of Chadic (Afroasiatic), spoken by approximately 19,000 people in Cameroon and Chad.
