I am a linguist, specialising in minimalist syntax and morphology. Some of the topics I have worked on include case, verbal domains and subjecthood, primarily focusing on Hindi-Urdu.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral Research Fellow at UCL on an AHRC funded project. I am investigating the structure and processing of rightward scrambling in Hindi-Urdu, along with Klaus Abels (UCL), Ad Neeleman (UCL) and Sakshi Bhatia (University of Delhi).
I completed my PhD from the University of Cambridge (Fitzwilliam College). My PhD dissertation looked at the nature of and interaction between Voice, case and external arguments in Urdu.

research interests
My primary research areas are case systems and Hindi-Urdu syntax. Other research interests include decomposition of the verbal domain, word order, and South Asian languages. Something I am particularly excited about is micro-variation between Hindi and Urdu, two near-identical languages which are often grouped together in syntactic theory.
