About Me
I’ve been a faculty member of the Department of Linguistics and the Center for Cognitive Science since 1998. My primary research interests are computational language learnability, phonology, and Optimality Theory.
Until recently (July 2024), I was the chair of Linguistics. If you are trying to contact the current department chair, Prof. Kristen Syrett, you may reach her via email at: chair (at) rutgers.edu
When not on campus, I am most likely to be found at home with my wife, or possibly visiting one of my two college-attending children. I also play the drums.
