Research assistant, AD
I graduated from Carleton College in June 2020 with majors in Computer Science and Linguistics and a minor in Dance. During my time at Carleton, I worked on the Dakota Language Project, which aims to document and revitalize the Dakota language. My work on this project included creating a description of the Dakota determiner phrase as well as constructing a corpus of Dakota words and phrases. I additionally worked in the Language and Cognition Lab (Michael C. Frank) at Stanford where I completed a project investigating the presence of superordinate category labels in child-directed speech. My senior Linguistics thesis was a cross-linguistic syntactic analysis of allocutive agreement in Basque, Japanese, Tamil, and Magahi.
At NYU’s Neuroscience of Linguistics Lab, I am excited to continue researching syntactic and morphological phenomena and investigating their neurologic bases using MEG, especially in under-documented languages.
