Huilei Wang
Pronouns: she/her
I am a linguist with interests in formal semantics and its interface with syntax. The core of my research investigates how compositional semantics interacts with clause-embedding structures and how cross-clausal semantic dependencies are derived and constrained.
I am currently working with Hedde Zeijlstra at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, funded by Humboldt Fellowship for Postdoctoral Research. Before coming to Göttingen, I finished my PhD from the Department of Linguistics at UCLA, with a dissertation examining the nature of clause-boundedness of quantificational scope. My committee members are Ethan Poole, Yael Sharvit, Dylan Bumford and Tim Hunter.
My first name is pronounced as [xweɪleɪ], and with tones [xweɪ˥˩ leɪ˩˨] (feel free to use whichever is most comfortable--no pressure at all :)
