CV

​

I am a final-year PhD student at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin advised by Professor Artemis Alexiadou and Professor Uli Sauerland. My research interests lie in morphology and syntactic and semantic theory. I work as a doctoral researcher at the ERC Synergy Grant project LeibnizDream (PIs: Artemis Alexiadou, Uli Sauerland, Maria Teresa Guasti) in the Compressor Team led by Professor Artemis Alexiadou

​

My work centers on allomorphy and the internal structure of nominals with particular interest in pronouns, clitics, clitic doubling, argument structure, and (un)agreement. In semantics, I focus on variable binding and its limits, phi-features, (in)definiteness, and subjunctive mood. My upcoming dissertation The Structure of Pronouns and Allomorphy investigates the structure of pronouns introducing allomorphy as a test for accessing the compositionality of morphemes in the syntax.

​

Before PhD studies, I graduated from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where I was advised by Professor Artemis Alexiadou and Professor Elisabeth Verhoeven, with the thesis Argument Structure, Ergativity, Aspect, and Agreement: a view from n-based nominalizations. Simultaneously with my studies, I worked as a research assistant to Professor Artemis Alexiadou and Professor Thomas McFadden at the project Register and the development of periphrasis in the history of English (Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft ZAS) and as a research assistant to Professor Elisabeth Verhoeven at the project Typology of the Psych Alternation in Morphology, Syntax, and Discourse (Institute of German Language and Linguistics, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin).
