I am Associate Professor in linguistics. My main research interests are comparative and evolutionary linguistics, grammar, lexicology, and language documentation, in particular on undescribed languages. I have specialized in the production of lexica and handbooks, among others of Tocharian, for which I received a prize from Institut de France in 2008, and Scandoromani, for which I received a prize from The Royal Academy of Gustavus Adolphus in 2009. I am research leader of a team, which builds a geodatabase with lexical and typological data from Eurasia and South America. The data is used for systematic studies on language diversity by phylogenetic and phylogeographic models. I have made several research visits at other universities, e.g., as Humboldt fellow at University of Kiel and at Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study in Uppsala. I have a long-term collaboration with UMR 7528 at EPHE/Sorbonne in Paris. I am also interested in teaching and development of teaching material.
