I'm a final-year Linguistics PhD student specializing in Aspect and Comparative Syntax. My NWO-funded PhD project at Leiden University (2020-2025) is on the interaction of inner and outer aspect from the perspective of VP decomposition, syntactic cartography and aspectual coercion. My PhD supervisors are Sjef Barbiers, Ronny Boogaart and Rint Sybesma. I have 3.5 years teaching experience at university (BA and MA) level.

My research interests—centered around the syntax/semantics interface—include telicity and argument structure, (parallel) corpus methods in syntax, posture verbs, quotative constructions, and viewpoint aspect in all shapes and sizes (progressive, prospective, ingressive, habitual, etc.). I've also published on argumentation theory, specifically pragma-dialectics. Languages I've worked on include Dutch, Mandarin, pre-Tang Chinese, Afrikaans, German and English.
