About me

Since April 2025 I am a senior lecturer and researcher at the Linguistics Department (AG Walkden) of the University of Konstanz. I am Co-PI of the project The pragmatic test - how humans and LLMs decode presupposed content, which is part of the Priority Programme LaSTing. I am also PI of the project Silent common ground management through pragmatic inference, which is part of the collaborative research center SiNoSi (SFB 1760 "Silence, Noise and Signal").

Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Potsdam (with Malte Zimmermann), at Institut Jean Nicod (École Normale Supérieure) in Paris (as part of the project Between Language and Reasoning, PI Salvador Mascarenhas), and at the University of Tübingen (as part of the project ObTrEx- Obligatory Triggers -- Experimental Evidence, PI Sigrid Beck), which was part of the Priority Programme xprag.de.
