Research
I'm a Reader in Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at Queen Mary University of London. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Linguistics at UCLA in 2017. My general research interests lie primarily in phonology and phonetics. My work focuses primarily on phonological acquisition and processing, and how this might inform us about grammatical architecture. My secondary interest is in prosody and intonation, with a current focus on Singapore English.
Research interests: Phonological acquisition and processing, prosody and intonational phonology, speech perception
Current languages of interest: Singapore English, Atare Imere (Polynesian, Vanuatu), Dinka (Western Nilotic, South Sudan), Tagalog (Austronesian, Philippines)
