[I had a recent disruption to my website that broke a bunch of things; I’ll fix those soon, but please excuse the messy appearance in the meantime…]

I am a Professor and the Undergraduate Chair in the Linguistics department at UPenn. I serve as Co-Editor-in-Chief at Glossa Psycholinguistics and also am an editor at Semantics of Natural Languages, a diamond open access journal supported by the OLH that we just launched as a successor to Natural Language Semantics. In addition, I am a member of the Graduate Group in Psychology. My research and teaching is concerned with the study of meaning, combining formal tools from semantics and pragmatics in theoretical linguistics with experimental methods from psycholinguistics. Under the lead of Jeremy Zehr, my lab has developed PCIbex, a tool for implementing and hosting experiments online.
