I am a Reader in Linguistics at Queen Mary University of London. I got my PhD at MIT, and have a BA and MA from Utrecht University. My research looks at issues in minimalist syntax, with a particular focus on understudied languages.

Some of my current research interests include predicate fronting, with a specific focus on Atara Imere, the morphosyntax of complementizers in Tigrinya, transitivity in Fijian, as well as nonconcatenative morphology in Western Nilotic.
