I am currently an academic staff member at the University of Mannheim, where I was previously employed as a post-doc within the Structuring the Input in Language Processing, Acquisition and Change (SILPAC) Research Unit, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. I defended my PhD at Radboud University, Nijmegen in 2022.

My research focuses on morphosyntactic developments in the West Germanic languages. I combine quantitative approaches with formal (Minimalist) syntactic theory. I am particularly interested in language variation and change at the interfaces, especially the syntax-pragmatics and syntax-semantic interfaces, as well as how language contact and language acquisition shape morphosyntactic change. You can read more about my research here.

My PhD thesis entitled Information Structure Triggers for Word Order Variation and Change: The OV/VO Alternation in the West Germanic languages appeared in print through LOT Publications on 3 March 2022. It can be downloaded (open access) here.
