I am a PhD candidate in linguistics at Lund University, with expertise in the Austroasiatic (especially Aslian) languages.

My PhD project focuses on the previously undescribed Northern Aslian language Jedek which is spoken in northern Peninsular Malaysia. The project aims at investigation of the dynamics of small-scale multilingualism as well as grammatical description of Jedek.

My main research interests are in the areas of language documentation, bilingualism, second language acquisition, linguistic variation, language contact and the prehistory of the Austroasiatic languages.
