I am a linguist specializing in historical-comparative linguistics and digital philology, with a focus on nominal morphology, theoretical and digital approaches to language change, as well as language ecology and diversity.

My work primarily focuses on corpus languages — languages known mainly through written records. I study understudied ancient Indo-European languages such as Tocharian, Sanskrit, and Khotanese, which were spoken along the ancient Silk Road in what is now the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China during the first millennium CE. This specialization extends to Central Asian studies, Silk Road history, and Buddhist studies.

In the field of nominal morphology, particularly (but not exclusively) in Indo-European, I investigate the historical development of derivational morphology, the (digital) methodology of reconstruction, and its application in phylogenetic studies.

Grounded in digital humanities and digital humanism, my research in language ecology and diversity examines the relationship between biological and linguistic-cultural diversity and the threats they face due to the metabolic rift in the Capitalocene. Part of this inquiry involves engaging ancient knowledge systems and their linguistic expression and transmission.

Beyond my linguistic interests, my philological work extends into philosophy — particularly the historical development of dialectical thought and the work of Hans Heinz Holz — as well as China studies.
