I am a FWO Junior Postdoctoral Fellow at Ghent University, working as Principal Investigator of the project Modelling Bantu Analytic Morphosyntax (MBAM): The Mbam languages as a case study in morphosyntactic change (2024-2027). My general research interests are (morpho)syntax, information structure, African languages and linguistics, and field methods. More specifically, I am interested in the factors that drive word order variation and change, which I am currently investigating in the clausal and verbal domains.

Prior to my current position, I received a BA (Hons) in Linguistics from the University of Cambridge, an MA in Linguistics from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, and a PhD in Linguistics from Leiden University, with a doctoral thesis entitled “Tunen syntax and information structure“, conducted as part of the NWO VIDI project Bantu Syntax and Information Structure (BaSIS, PI Jenneke van der Wal). I have also been a Visiting Short-Term PhD Fellow at Potsdam University (SFB Limits of Variability in Language subproject CHAOS/C08, PI Gisbert Fanselow†), a Lecturer in English Language and Culture and Linguistics at Leiden University (2023/24), and an Invited Researcher at CNRS-LLACAN (11/2025-02/2026).
