I am an Assistant Professor and Researcher (专职研究员) at the National Research Centre for Foreign Language Education (教育部人文社会科学重点研究基地中国外语与教育研究中心) & National Research Centre for State Language Capacity (国家语言文字工作委员会科研机构国家语言能力发展研究中心) at Beijing Foreign Studies University (北京外国语大学). [These research centers are comparable to ZAS in Germany. ] Here is my Chinese website.
I work on semantics, syntax, and the interface between them. I am also interested in the roles that morphology, pragmatics, and/or phonology can play in a comprehensive analysis of linguistic phenomena. Drawing on my background in cognitive science, I also seek to explore how formal linguistic explanations can be integrated into a broader cognitive science framework, rather than remaining discipline-centered and isolated. For more details, see Research.
I received my Ph.D. in Theoretical Linguistics and Cognitive Science from Georgetown University, U.S. in 2024, where my Theoretical Linguistics advisors are Paul Portner & Ruth Kramer, and my Cognitive Science advisors are David Lightfoot [before retirement in 2021] & Elissa Newport & Bryce Huebner. I did my M.A. in Foreign Linguistics & Applied Linguistics (2016-2019) and B.A. in Translation (2012-2016) at China Foreign Affairs University (外交学院).
