About me
I am an Assistant Professor of Linguistics in the Department of English at the College of Staten Island (CSI) CUNY. Before this, I conducted postdoctoral research at Leipzig University in Germany. I received my Ph.D. in Linguistics from Stony Brook University. My research centers on syntactic theory and computational psycholinguistics, focusing on human sentence processing through computational parsing models.

New article in Journal of Language Modelling
I published the article Psycholinguistic plausibility of left-corner parsing with Minimalist Grammars in Journal of Language Modelling. The article proposes a left-corner minimalist parsing model of sentence processing that mimics how humans process sentences. The modeling results suggest that the memory resources required to build sentences structures account for processing difficulties.
Two presentations @ SCiL 25
At SCiL 2025, I presented the poster Formalizing Feature Inheritance, reporting joint work with Greg Kobele.
Psycholinguistic Adequacy of Left-corner Parsing for Minimalist Grammars @ SCiL 24
I had a poster presentation about Psycholinguistic Adequacy of Left-corner Parsing for Minimalist Grammars at SCiL24.
