Hi, I am a fifth-year Ph.D student in the Department of Linguistics at the University at Buffalo. I started my linguistics training with interest in syntactic and semantic theories and found it also very interesting to investigate how people use such syntactic and semantic knowledge in real time. Currently I am spending most time in working on the effect of semantic/event similarity of verbs on syntactic formulation.

Besides, I love to study language typology.
