I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester, where I work primarily with Mike Tanenhaus.

My research investigates phenomena at the semantics/pragmatics interface, with a current focus on the processing of scalar implicatures. More generally I am interested in how speakers and hearers make use of information about the discourse context in comprehension and production. My work combines behavioral, corpus-based, and formal linguistic methods.

I am a member of the Tanenhaus lab, Florian Jaeger's HLPlab, and the Experimental Semantics and Pragmatics reading club led by Christine Gunlogson (we now have a blog!).
