Our life in Guatemala: Living beside drug cartel members

About Me

I am a software engineer and a linguist. I hold a bachelor's degree in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Utah, a Master’s degree in linguistics from Francisco Marroquín University in Guatemala City and I am currently a PhD candidate at the Polytechnic University in the Department of Complex Systems in Madrid, Spain.

My research focuses on four areas:

Artificial intelligence algorithms within historical linguistics and epigraphy.
Morphosyntax in Mesoamerican and Mesopotamian languages.
Linguistics of the Book of Mormon and early members within the LDS faith movement in the 19th century.
Linguistics and liberty. How language affects perceptions of liberty.
