Research information:

My research concentrates on the grammatical structure of the indigenous languages spoken in the lowlands of South America, in particular that of Mebengokre, spoken by approximately 10.000 people in central Brazil.

More broadly, I'm interested in Eastern Brazil and the Chaco as cultural areas, in their ethnographic, historical, archaeological and linguistic aspects.
