I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) Lab at the Linguistics Department, Chulalongkorn University, supervised by Attapol Rutherford. I am also a part-time lecturer teaching syntax (and other syntax-related courses) here at Chula. Prior to coming to Chula, I received a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Stony Brook University, co-advised by Francisco Ordóñez, Daniel Finer, and Jiwon Yun. My dissertation explores the structural relation between nouns and their modifying materials that occur in a “displaced” position (i.e. a position at the right edge of the sentence and non-adjacent to the modified noun) in Thai.
Apart from my work at Chula’s NLP lab, which focuses on developing a robust NLP infrastructure for Thai, I am also interested in theoretical and experimental syntax. My work concentrates on understanding the structure and interpretation of different types of phrases and sentences in Thai, and attempts to gauge such linguistic knowledge using experimental methods. My current research projects can be found on the research page.
