Jeremy graduated from HK PolyU with an MA degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. He is interested in psycholinguistics, with a focus on cognitive mechanisms underlying the processing of L2 lexical prosody (i.e. lexical tones). His MPhil project studied the statistical learning of Mandarin lexical tones and how individual differences played a role in learning. He is currently working on his doctoral project studying the effect of aging on the statistical learning of lexical tones.

Jeremy’s Ph.D study is funded by the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship.

Yuqi graduated from Tianjin University with a BA Degree in English. She is interested in tone perception and the bilingual effect on cognition.

Susu graduated from the University of Hong Kong with an MA degree in Linguistics.
