Academic Engagement

I’m a psychologist hiding in linguistics. I work as a postdoctoral fellow in the Neurobiology of Language Learning (NLL) Lab, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I hold a Ph.D. in Linguistics (The Chinese University of Hong Kong), a Research Master in Basic Psychology (Renmin University of China), and a B.A. in Translation and Interpreting (Beijing International Studies University).

I’m interested in how human brains (and artificial systems) represent, process, and learn speech. My postdoctoral project focuses on how phonetic categories are represented and learned by the human brain. My PhD dissertation explores how the demographic information of a speaker influences spoken language comprehension. Other projects include how brains of autistic and neurotypical children process social-emotional language, and how large language models process social-linguistic information. In most of my work, I use EEG, functional MRI, and computational metrics.
