I am a linguist, researcher and lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania, with a specialization in the morphosyntax and variation in Indonesian languages.

Currently I hold a faculty position in the Critical Writing Program, and my seminars are organized around topics in linguistics and cognitive science (see Teaching page for current and upcoming classes).

My linguistics research is focused on colloquial Indonesian and Madurese, an understudied language spoken primarily in East Java. Broadly speaking, my interests include syntax and its interfaces; syntactic variability and its theoretical implications; sociolinguistics and variation; collaborative fieldwork, particularly in under-represented languages; and writing about linguistics/language.
