Who?

I’m a Hebraist researching the history of the Hebrew Bible/Tanakh/Old Testament and its languages: Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic. I also work on the Semitic languages in general. I received my BA in Comparative Indo-European Linguistics (2010) and Research MA (2012) and PhD (2016) in Linguistics from Leiden University, the Netherlands. Currently I’m working as an FWO Senior Postdoctoral Fellow at KU Leuven, Belgium. *bnu yamīnim is how I’d reconstruct the name ‘Benjamin’ back to Proto-Semitic.
