I am a formal linguist specialising in syntax and its interfaces. In September 2023 I defended my PhD dissertation, Size matters: Clause structure and locality in Swahili relatives, at Queen Mary University of London, under the supervision of Prof. Hagit Borer and Prof. David Adger. 

Before that I did my BA and MPhil in Linguistics at Downing College, University of Cambridge. I am currently interested in the relationship between clause structure and the locality of cross-clausal syntactic dependencies, such as movement, particularly as characterised by the Williams Cycle. In connection with my current position, I am also interested in the syntactic representation of indexical categories (e.g. speaker, addressee) and its relationship to phenomena like indexical shift. If I'm not doing linguistics, you can find me reading cookbooks.
