Ph.D. Student in Cognitive Science at UCSD
Fueled by endless passion for language and the mind
Picture

​I am interested in predictive speech processing and how accents are perceived. I specialize in using Electroencephalogram (EEG) to investigate natural variations in speech.

I am also a dedicated English and Mandarin instructor, providing student-centered teaching grounded in strong Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and psycholinguistic theories. My teaching experiences have also inspired me to explore language acquisition in non-native English speakers, particularly in improving speaking fluency in naturalistic speaking tasks.
