About me: 

I'm a PhD student in the fourth year at Leipzig University.  As a member of the research unit Cyclic Optimization, I'm working in the sub-project optimal matches between clause-embedding predicates and their clausal complements. The project inversitgates the relation between the interpretation of the clause-embeddding predicate and  its complement clause. My work focuses on the formal modeling of the reading alternations such as ‘believe-intend' or ‘think-want'.

Research interests: 

Semantics, Syntax-semantics interface
