<h1>Welcome!</h1>
<p>
I'm a phonologist who works on questions of linguistic theory using computational and experimental methods.
I'm a Neubauer Family Assistant Professor in the<a href="https://linguistics.uchicago.edu" target="_blank"
rel="noopener">Department of Linguistics</a>.
at the <a href="https://www.uchicago.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Chicago</a>. I
previously worked at the University of Southern California.
I direct the <a href="https://lab.cbreiss.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Breiss Lab</a>.
</p>
<p>
Prior to this, I was an Assistant Professor at USC Linguistics, and did my postdoc in the in the
<a href="http://cpl.mit.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Computational Psycholinguistics Lab</a>
in the Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences at MIT, supervised by Roger Levy,
and affiliated with the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab. I completed my PhD in 2021 under the
supervision of Bruce Hayes in the
<a href="http://linguistics.ucla.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Linguistics Department at UCLA</a>.

<h2>Research</h2>
<p>
My research is in theoretical, computational, and experimental phonology, with
particular interest in learning/acquisition, the representation of overlapping
and interacting phonological processes, and phonology's interfaces with
(morpho)syntax and the lexicon. I've become fond of calling this line of research
"computational psychophonology".<span class="footnote-ref"><sup>*</sup><span class="footnote-tip">Also known as
"<a href="https://websites.umass.edu/jarosz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">psychocomputational
phonology</a>".</span></span>
</p>
<p>
Methodologically, I make use of whatever tools are needed for the job: right now, this means computational
modeling (Bayesian, neural, or otherwise), corpus methods, online surveys of understudied languages, and
laboratory experiments of all types.
