I am an Associate Professor in, and Associate Director of, the Program in Linguistics at Princeton University.

My research interests are mainly in syntax and morphology, especially allomorphy, infixation, agreement, and nominal licensing, with a new interest in root and pattern morpho-phono-syntax. I investigate these topics through typological research and case studies on a variety of languages, which has included Turoyo and Senaya (Neo-Aramaic), Nancowry (Austroasiatic), Kurmanji (Indo-Iranian), Malagasy (Austronesian), and Hixkaryana (Carib).
