I am a linguist interested in the sounds and sound systems occurring in natural language.

I am editor of the DoReCo corpus and Principal Investigator in the AIRAL project at ZAS Berlin.

Previously, I held positions as stand-in professor at University of Potsdam and PostDoc at Max-Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena. I received my PhD from the University of Leipzig, where I was a member of the Research Training Group IGRA.

Topics I am working on include

Speech corpora and databases for cross-linguistic comparison
Endangered and understudied languages, especially in the Caucasus and South-East Asia
The phonology-morphology interface
Speech pauses and their relation to segmental duration, prosodic word domains, and speech rhythm
