I am a computational linguistics researcher, now working in the DynDial project (ESRC RES-062-23-0962, `Dynamics of Conversational Dialogue'), a collaboration between King's College and Queen Mary College, University of London.

My main interest lies in natural language parsing. In my PhD thesis (here) I dealt with the issue of how best to parse word-order variations in languages with relatively free word-order, such as Japanese and German. The parser is designed to handle many different word order patterns with minimal resources. Its underlying grammar is largely based on HPSG's linearization theory, but I use a largely lexicalised formalism, departing from the standard theory.

In the current project I am building an incremental parser for Dynamic Syntax, a procedurally-oriented framework that allows for structural underspecification. The main focus in the project is to model 'context', so that context-dependent phenomena characteristic of conversation such as ellipsis and anaphora are formally accounted for.
