Hello!

I am a PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania. My advisor is David Embick, and I am affiliated with the Embick Lab and the Penn Syntax Lab. My interests lie at the intersection of syntax, morphology, and phonology. A major focus of my research is understanding the role of morphology as a mediator between syntax and phonology. Besides my interest in the architecture of grammar, I am also interested in the learnability and productivity of rules. Much of my work examines morphophonological rules and exceptions, as well as inflectional defectiveness and (non-)suppletive allomorphy in Turkish and other Turkic languages. You can find my CV here.
