I am a Ph.D. student in Linguistics at the University of Southern California (USC). I’m currently a generative syntactician. My current research interests include theories of Syntax-PF interface, morphological case, A’-movement etc. I recently got interested in the mathematical modeling of the Strong Minimalist Thesis and Externalization.

What’s new?

  • January 2024: I gave a talk at the 2024 LSA Annual Meeting on my most updated analysis of Swahili Relative Clauses [handout].
  • December 2023: An old version of my analysis of Swahili RCs has been publish (finally…) by MITWPL [link]. Please only cite this for the data and discussion about adverbial clauses.
