OSF

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Linguistics at Universität Konstanz (AG Eckardt) since May 2025. I'm also the PI of project A06 Interactions of ellipsis and wh-dependencies which is part of the SFB 1760 at Universität Konstanz.

Before that I was a postdoc at NTNU in Trondheim (with Terje Lohndal, Andrew Weir). I got my PhD from Universität Leipzig in 2022 (advised by Gereon Müller, Klaus Abels). 

My research interests lie in theoretical and experimental syntax and the interfaces. I work on ellipsis, coordinate structures, and movement, primarily in Germanic languages.

 

New:

 

  • Hiring a doctoral researcher in project A06 in University of Konstanz's SFB 1760! More info here.

  • Talk at ECBAE 8 in Tübingen (with Johannes Hein; The (In)dependence of V-stranding VP-ellipsis and V-doubling VP-topicalization, handout, August 2026)

  • Poster at GLOW 48 in Siena (Solving Hartman's puzzle, handout, April 2026)

  • Squib published: The law and order of selection-violating coordination, Glossa 11 (link)
