Hi there, I'm Adam Leif, a PhD student in UCLA's Department of Linguistics. I'm interested in syntax and sentence processing, with a secondary focus on computational linguistics. At the moment, I'm working on a treatment of my honors thesis from last year for publication, which includes some additional experimentation and theoretical considerations. While I don't currently have any official advisors, I had the privilege of being advised by Rob Voigt and Masaya Yoshida during my time as an undergraduate at Northwestern (and I credit them with my decision to pursue my PhD).

Outside of my academic pursuits, I'm a big TTRPG fan (I've participated in numerous campaigns in numerous systems), a medium-time board game enjoyer, a mediocre Magic: The Gathering drafter, and a passable video game player. I also take pictures sometimes.
