About me:

First year Ph.D. student in the linguistics department at the University of Southern California. My interests lie mostly in the phonology/phonetics realm, especially in prosody.

My research:

I do research mainly involving prosodic systems. I have looked into the text-setting of names in the Japanese Happy Birthday song in relation to the syllabic and moraic structures of the language.
