I am currently a post-doctoral lecturer and researcher at the Dutch department at Utrecht University. Earlier I was a PhD student at the same institution and at the Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel.

My work in morphosyntax supports the thesis that roots (aka lexical or open-class vocabulary items) do not determine the functional structure in which they appear. In other words, I contribute to the research agenda which states that functional structure determines the meaning and use of the root. I argue for the elimination of lexical categories from syntax. My work therefore has a close affinity with both the Exo-Skeletal Model and Distributed Morphology.
