I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at The Ohio State University.

My primary research focuses on Chinese linguistics, particularly Chinese as a second language (L2) acquisition, L2 phonology (including both segmental and suprasegmental features), lexical development, and research methods.

I also have a strong interest in exploring effective language learning and pedagogical approaches.
