Biography
I am currently a Ph.D. researcher and an Instructor of Linguistics in the Linguistics Department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
My main research interests lie in the fields of theoretical Syntax and morphosyntax within the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1993, 1995, et seq.) and Distributed Morphology (Halle & Marantz 1993, inter alia). I am also interested in language processing in the bilingual brain using neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, EEG, & MEG) in addition to language documentation.
