I am a theoretical linguist, which means I study how language works. My research interests, broadly speaking, are in semantics and its interfaces with syntax and pragmatics. My work covers various specific topics, including: Scalar Implicatures, anaphora and binding, focus and ellipsis.
Here is my CV (July 2026).
I graduated from the department of linguistics at MIT in September 2021. I am now a post-doctoral researcher in the LeibnizDream project at the Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS), and at Ben Gurion University.
I am co-editor of the journal Snippets together with Gary Thoms.
