About Me

I am a Ph.D student in the Department of Linguistics at University College London (UCL).

My primary interests lie in the fields of Psycholinguistics, Experimental Syntax, Experimental Design and Research Methods. I am currently working with my supervisor Dr. Andrea Santi on the processing of movement (as well as other) dependencies, and what this can tell us about the relationship between the grammar and the parser.

In my spare time, I like hiking, camping, taking film photographs, mixing delicious drinks and drinking them.

We then took it with us for a misty hike up to Arthur's Seat to celebrate...

Surprisingly good late summer weather in Newcastle, U.K. for the LAGB Annual Meeting while we presented our talk about how subject gap predictions might be confounded with intermediate trace processing in experimental work. Interesting discussions about the motivations for successive cyclicity in the grammar follow...
