Description/ About me

I am a linguist with a lot of different interests. My undergraduate alma mater was the University of Edinburgh, where I graduated in 2011. I’m going on to Saarbrücken and Malta for two years of a computational masters degree. I was born and raised in the US, mostly in Connecticut.

My academic interests are: evolutionary linguistics, the simulation of language, constructed languages, phonology, semantics, lexicography, and language preservation and documentation. My linguistics interests also include analogs with genetics, ecology, and environmental biology.

Non-linguistic interests include workflows, anthropology, biology, ecology, history, classics, literature, creative writing, economics and political science.
