I'm an Assistant Professor and Lecturer at the Seminar für Sprachwissenschaft at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen.
My research focuses on the semantics and pragmatics of natural language. In particular, I am interested in different types of meaning (asserted, presupposed, not-at-issue, etc.) and how they interact with sentence- and discourse-level phenomena. My research is rooted in traditional linguistic theory, but looks to incorporate insights from neighboring fields, including philosophy, psychology, mathematics, and computer science, in order to refine and deepen our understanding of linguistic phenomena.
Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at the Institut für Linguistik at Heinrich Heine Universität Düsseldorf (2020-2023), and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Language, Logic and Cognition Center at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2017-2020).
I edited Semantics and Linguistic Theory 23, and SALT 24.
I coordinated the Cornell Semantics Reading Group for three years.
I was president of the Cornell Linguistics Circle for the 2014-2015 term.
Last but not least, I represented the Social Sciences as a voting member of the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly.
I received my Ph.D. in Linguistics from Cornell University in 2017.
I received my B.A. in Linguistics and Chinese from Carnegie Mellon University in 2010.
