My primary research focus is on phonology and its interface with morphology and syntax. I have studied the morphophonological aspects of Greek verbs (e.g., root allomorphy, the realization of the PAST), the prosodic structure of Greek, and especially the prosodization of clitics, often collaborating with fellow linguists. From the start of my academic career, I have been deeply interested in lexical accent systems (e.g., Greek, Russian) where stress is largely determined by morphosyntactic structure. Additionally, I have researched contact-induced systems, particularly endangered Greek varieties that have been in long-term contact with Turkish (e.g., Asia Minor Greek, Ofitika Pontic, etc.). I have also worked on aspects of L1/L2 acquisition of Greek, again in collaboration with other linguists.

Currently, I am exploring the computational modeling of stress grammars in young and adult Greek speakers using Gradient Harmonic Grammars (Smolensky & Goldrick 2016) (see GRADIENCE). 

In collaboration with Angelos Loukas, we explore cross-linguistic patterns of segmental and tonal coalescence (see Coalescence).

Additionally, continuing my research interest in Pontic Greek, I have teamed up with Dr. Nicolaos Neocleous to investigate the development of heritage grammars, with a focus on Pontic Greek spoken in Turkish immigrant communities in northern Cyprus (see Heritage Grammars: Pontic in Cyprus).
