I'm a PhD student in linguistics at Stony Brook University (entered 2025), happily advised by Jeffrey Heinz. I like to work on formal learning problems, especially ones involving function decomposition! You can contact me with academic things at benjamin [dot] evans [at] stonybrook [dot] edu.
I presented recent work on learning the decomposition of Simplex and Homomorphic functions at the 2025 Subregular Morphophonology Workshop.
