I am a research fellow and a PhD student at the Center for Advanced Studies in Theoretical Linguistics at the University of Tromsø in Tromsø, Norway. I received my specialist degree (roughly an MA) at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (OTiPL) of the Faculty of Philology, Moscow State University in Russia.

I specialize in phonology, particularly segmental phonology and consonant alternations. My main areas of interest concern the nature of phonological features and the division of labour in phonological theory. My MA thesis was a typological and theoretical investigation of the properties of initial consonant mutation. My current work concerns the sound patterns of Scottish Gaelic and Russian, aspects of prosodic structure with reference to Munster Irish, and the use of typed feature structures to formalize phonological representations.

I have also worked on Welsh, dialects of Italy, Fula, and Tswana.
