I am a third-year PhD student at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin advised by Artemis Alexiadou and Uli Sauerland. My research interests lie in syntactic and semantic theory, morphology, and language acquisition. 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 Artemis Alexiadou.
​
Before PhD studies, I graduated from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where I was advised by Artemis Alexiadou and 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 Artemis Alexiadou and 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 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).
