I consider myself a descriptive grammarian who wants to understand his data, and a computational linguist who loves puzzle solving. To that end, I use a mix of theoretical and computational tools to understand different areas of morphophonology. I have worked on different areas of morphophonology. You can find out more below.

• Armenian linguistics
• Computational linguistics
• Other areas

For my dissertation (slides, announcement), I worked on the computational morphophonology of Armenian under the supervision of Dr. Jeff Heinz and Dr. Christina Bethin. Armenian is understudied but has morphophonological processes that are sensitive to multiple linguistic factors. I discover these factors in my thesis and I work out how computationally powerful morphophonology needs to be.
