About me

I received my degree in theoretical linguistics from the University of Toronto in 2015. Since then, I have worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Georg-August University of Göttingen, and University of Tromsø. My recent research focuses on how our intentions and sense of agency are manifested in language.

For more information about my education, teaching, and publications, please take a look at my full CV (updated Februeary 2023).

The goal of the project is to undertand why various linguistic restrictions are sensitive to the interpretation of actions as intentional versus accidental.
