Assistant Professor · University of North Texas

Welcome to my website!

I am Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics at the University of North Texas and Director of AI Engineering at AltaScient.

My linguistic research interests concern linguistic change and its cognitive foundation, Germanic and Indo-European historical linguistics, and language family diversification. My work involves developing causal models — Bayesian inference, Neural Networks, and Agent-Based Models — of language processes as complex systems.

In my work in industry, I develop AI strategies and build custom AI models with language capabilities for the analysis of large-scale economic data.

Fields of study

• Diachronic linguistics
• Cladistics / Phylogenetics
• Artificial Neural Networks
• Agent-based modeling
• Bayesian inference
• Early Germanic
