I am a postdoctoral researcher in linguistics at the University of Bremen. I am fascinated by how we communicate chunks of information to each other, what this does to the structures of the languages we speak, and how we leverage these structures to communicate more effectively. My research interests span from the typology of complex predicates to the patterns of pausing in spontaneous speech, and many other things along the way.

I was previously a PhD student at the University of Freiburg, where I was a member of the Emmy-Noether-Gruppe Non-Hierarchicality in Grammar (NonGram) and a research assistant on Grambank. My dissertation looked at how complex verbal constructions are realised by speakers in Northeast India.
