Biography
I received my bachelor’s degree in Fundamental and Computational Linguistics from HSE University in 2023 (diploma with distinction) and my MPhil in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics by thesis at the University of Cambridge in 2024.
Research
My research interests focus on the phonetics/phonology interface and laryngeal phenomena in the world’s languages, particularly how phonological features are realised at the surface level. Recently, I have been researching acoustic cues for voicing. I also develop digital language resources such as online dictionaries. My current projects include a website about Pamir languages, various online dictionaries (Persian, Ossetic, Serbian, Russian among others), and an online database of verbal colexification.
