I'm a fourth-year graduate student in linguistics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. My focus is on computational phonology and phonological learning, and I'm currently thinking about these in terms of vowel harmony, particularly rounding harmony. I've worked on:
- Online constraint induction for alternations
- Too-Many-Repairs problems regarding stress placement
- Sonority in consonant clusters
