I am a PhD candidate in the Linguistics Department at Tel Aviv University, advised by Julia Horvath.
I am currently a visiting scholar in the Department of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz for the 2025–26 academic year.
My research is in theoretical syntax and psycholinguistics. I am interested in the representation of grammatical knowledge, specifically its application to bilingual behavior and its role in sentence processing.
In my dissertation, I study syntactic constraints on bilingual code-switching. I am interested in the division of labour between grammatical modules and the content of the lexicon, and focus on cyclicity, agreement, and movement in intra-sentential code-switching. My research is based on data from Hebrew-English bilinguals collected using psycholinguistic methods.
