Hello!

I'm a fourth-year PhD student at Stony Brook University in the Linguistics Department. I'm also affliated with the Institute for Advanced Computational Science (IACS). My research interests revolve around computational phonology, mathematical linguistics and formal language theory. I'm also working on tonal grammar of an understudied language of Cameroon, Shupamem. Since last summer I have also been engaged in a research project on how language signals cognitive state. Since then I've been working on developing a corpus annotated for common ground.
