Beatriu de Pinós Postdoctoral Research FellowDepartment of Translation and Language Sciences, Pompeu Fabra University

I am an experimental morphologist and evolutionary linguist. Currently I am a Beatriu de Pinós postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Translation and Language Science at Pompeu Fabra University. I am a member of the Computational Linguistics and Linguistics Theory research unit, where I research the cognitive constraints that shape language structure using experimental methods and quantitative typology. In particular, I investigate the impact of human cognition on cross-linguistic regularities in morphology and their evolution over time.

Previously I was a postdoctoral fellow and lecturer at the University of Zurich (2019-2024), within the Distributional Lingusitics Lab (PI: Balthasar Bickel). Before that, I collaborated in two ERC projects at the University of Edinburgh (2018-2019), The Evolution of Linguistic Complexity (PI: Kenny Smith) and SYNCOG (PI: Jennifer Culbertson). I hold a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Edinburgh (2018).
