I’m a first-year PhD student in the Department of Language Science at University of California, Irvine. I received my B.A. in Foreign Languages and Literatures from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU, formerly NCTU), and M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology from National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences (NTUNHS). Before my PhD study, I worked as a Linguistics research assistant in Experimental Phonology Lab at NYCU, and a certified speech-language pathologist specializing in child language disorders and speech sound disorders.

My research interests mainly lie in psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, concerning the questions about how language, and speech sounds in particular, is represented and processed in the human mind. I use both behavioral paradigms and neurophysiological measures (EEG) to investigate a variety of separate but related topics. The research projects in which I’ve been involved span speech perception, language production, child language development, and second language acquisition.
