Welcome!

About me

I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher under Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow with my own project "Projection of Pronominal Plurality Inferences (PoPPIn)" with Uli Sauerland and Kazuko Yatsushiro.

Before this, I was working as a postdoctoral researcher on the NWO funded project "A Sentence Uttered Makes a World Appear---Natural Language Interpretation as Abductive Model Generation" with Reinhard Muskens.

I did my PhD in Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Wataru Uegaki, Rob Truswell and Bryan Pickel. My thesis focused on the semantics of overt distributivity and its interface with syntax and discourse.

Upcoming presentations
