Petra M. Goedegebuure is dutch-American Hittitologist at the University of Chicago's Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures, whose work on the Hattic verb is the main current account of its alignment., and appears in the record of Hattic, Kassite and the half-read languages of the cuneiform archives as hittitologist at the University of Chicago; argued in 2010 that Hattic is an active language with an ergative base.

One event on the site involves Goedegebuure: Petra Goedegebuure argues for active alignment; Alexei Kassian proposes a Sino-Caucasian affiliation (2010).
