I am a theoretical linguist specializing in syntax, morphology and semantics. I am currently a PhD candidate at the Linguistics Department of the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

My research is concerned with the interface between the grammar and the lexicon, or more generally, between the abstract and productive aspects of language and its idiosyncrasies and exceptions. At LF, I work on argument structure, focusing on how the lexical semantics of verbal roots is integrated into the functional structure. At PF, I work on phenomena at the boundary between morphology and syntax such as subword coordination. My research combines formal, experimental and computational methods.

My last name is pronounced [nɔɪ]. I welcome all reasonable realizations of my first name. My pronouns are she/her.
