Job description
I am a laboratory phonologist with experience in second language acquisition, vowel acoustics, and Germanic languages. My current work focuses on the phonological typology of vowel and consonant harmony.

Research interests
My current research focuses on better understanding the formal and cognitive restrictions on harmony processes and expanding our understanding of the typology of harmony. To achieve this, I am using artificial grammar learning techniques to explore biases in learnability, cognition, and theoretical linguistcs that limit the range of possible harmony processes that can arise in natural language.
