A bit about me
My undergraduate degree is in German Studies and Classics from Grinnell College, and I completed a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Classics at UCLA last year. I am now a second-year graduate student in the Program in Indo-European Studies, lovingly called PIES.
I am interested in the computational modeling of language diversification and questions of phonological theory, especially how phonological typology can help us re-construct the phonology of Proto-Indo-European and trace its evolution into the phonologies of the daughter languages. I also like etymology.
Research Interests
- Diachronic phonology and prosody
- Bayesian phylogenetics
- Greek, Latin, Hittite, and Sanskrit literature and linguistics
