I am a Professor and the Undergraduate Chair in the Linguistics department at UPenn. I am also the Associate Director for Education of mindCORE, Penn’s hub for the integrative study of the mind.  I serve as associate editor at Glossa Psycholinguistics and 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.
