About

I’m a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Linguistics of the University of Potsdam and a member of the Potsdam Morpho-Syntax Lab.

I got my PhD from MIT in 2023.

My main research interests are in syntax and morphology⁠.

My name

My full name is pronounced [stanizˈlao dzomˈpi] and spelled with a grave accent on the final i. (I myself have been inconsistent in this regard; now I’m trying to fix that.) In English-speaking contexts, I usually go by Stan.
