She has received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India. As a syntactician, her primary interest lies in studying the uniformity between nominal and clausal left periphery. Particularly, she investigates the discourse notion which plays a direct role in syntactic derivation. Recently, she has also been intrigued by the semantics of polar questions and alternative questions, showing how a language speaker uses a question particle as a disjunction marker.
