ABOUT ME
I am a linguist and a fan of Austronesian languages. Much of my work to date focuses on the comparative syntax of western Austronesian languages, especially the languages spoken in Taiwan, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
I am currently working on four Austronesian languages, Puyuma, Amis, Seediq, and Tagalog. I also have experience researching Old Chinese, Tangut (Tibeto-Burman), and Nyagrong Minyag (rGyalrongic, Tibeto-Burman) .
Outside linguistics, I like biking, traveling, tea, & coffee.

Taitung (Taiwan), where I do fieldwork on Nanwang Puyuma and Pinaski Puyuma
Ningpu (Taitung), Taiwan, near my Amis consultants' village
Xincheng (Hualien), Taiwan, where I did fieldwork on Truku Seediq. Since 2014 I've also been working on the Tgdaya dialect (Puli), which is morphosyntactically more conservative than Truku.
