Research interests

My research interests include phonological representations, harmony systems, and the phonetics-phonology and morphology-phonology interfaces. Much of my work deals with theories of phonological representations and how such theories can be formalized in constraint-based models of phonology with a particular focus on theories of contrastive specifications and how these can be implemented in Optimality Theory grammars.
