hello!

I am a researcher in logic, knowledge representation and reasoning at the Netherlands organisation for applied scientific research TNO. Before this, I held a postdoc position at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation in Amsterdam.

My dissertation Questions in Context focuses on interactions between questions and indexicality. It shows that questions can be context-sensitive in other ways than statements can, and develops a semantic framework that can capture this.
