I am an assistant professor in the department of English Language and Literature at Hongik University, South Korea. I received a PhD in Linguistics at the University of Michigan. My primary interests are neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, and bilingual processing. In my dissertation, I probe lexical, morphological, and sentence processing in English and Korean using machine learning (neural decoding), RSA-EEG, eye tracking, and priming.
As an L2 learner myself, learning a new language has always been a both fascinating and challenging task. Hence, my major research goal is to explore the cognitive mechanisms in processing multiple languages using psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, and computational tools.
I received my BA and MA in the department of English Language and Literature at Seoul National University.
