Hi there! I'm a PhD candidate at the Department of Linguistics of the University of Pennsylvania.
My research interests are at the interface of sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics.
In particular, I use experimental methods to probe the perception and production of language variation.
At Penn, I am primarily affiliated with the Language Variation and Cognition Lab,
and my advisor is Meredith Tamminga.
I also work with Dave Embick at the Embick lab, and Gareth Roberts at the Cultural Evolution of Language Lab.
I’m also part of the Language and Communication Sciences initiative at Penn.
Before coming to Penn, I earned my Bachelor's degrees in English and International Politics at Shandong University, and my MA in foreign languages and literatures at
Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
