Assistant Professor I study how linguistic structure, experience, and cognitive variation shape the way people learn, represent, and process meaning. My work draws on computational modeling, machine learning, behavioral experiments, and linguistic analysis to investigate questions in semantics, syntax, numerical and magnitude cognition, language learning, and speech processing.
