| I was originally trained in Mathematics and Computer Science and, after working for several years in the software industry, I switched back to academia (after studies in Psychology, an MSc in Neurobiology and Behavior, and a PhD in Linguistics).
This background allows me to approach the Language Sciences from an inter-disciplinary and quantitative perspective, and I mostly work on questions that involve computers, statistics and empirical data organized in large databases.
For more details on my background please see my Personal Website.
Google Scholar seems to keep quite an extensive track of my publications with citations, h-index and what not.
Some of the software and databases I develop are on GitHub. |

หัวข้อวิจัยที่สนใจ
|
|
|
| During my academic career I have worked on several big themes, mostly concerning language origins, evolution and diversity.
A non-exhaustive list of questions my work attempts to answer is:
- How and when did arguably "modern" language evolve? Did we share it with other humans, such as the Neanderthals? What sort of empirical evidence can be used to answer these questions?
- What are the genetic foundations of language and speech? How do they interact with the environment, and, more importantly, the cultural evolution of language?
- How can we infer the rates of change of structural aspects of language? How do Bayesian phylogenetic methods compare with other proposals and how can we estimate this latent stability using psychometric approaches?
- How is the variation in the infrastructure of language and speech patterned between individuals and groups? How does it affect (bias) language change and linguistic diversity?
- In particular, how does variation in vocal tract anatomy and physiology influence phonetic and phonological cross-linguistic diversity?
- How do linguistic complexity and robustness emerge, how are they maintained, and so they vary across languages? Is there a connection to variation in environmental conditions and speakers?
