I'm a linguist whose work is mostly focused on semantics and its interface with syntax. I'm interested in basically anything, but topics close to my heart are questions and plurality. In my dissertation, I investigated the meaning of sentences in which DPs appear to be interpreted as quantifiers over intensional individuals, e.g., Most governors have changed after the election.

I'm currently a post-doc at the Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg. I got my PhD from MIT in August 2023.

Concerning my name(s): Hisao is part of my first name, not of my last name. Unless we've met in high school, I go by my first first name, Filipe.
