I received my PhD in Linguistics at Rutgers University. My broad interests lie in theories of phonology. I specifically look at phonological processes involving tone, intonation, and their interactions. This includes but not limited to tone-intonation representation issues, the computation of long distance processes in tone, and experimental and quantitative approaches to the study of tone and intonation using my own fieldwork data. 

​

My previous fieldwork trips took me to Benin, Niger, and Côte-d'Ivoire, where I worked on Ede Chaabe & Baatonum, Zarma, and Dan, respectively.
