Hello! I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania. My main research interests are in phonetics and phonology. I am particularly interested in articulatory and acoustic aspects of performative speech (such as singing), and their mapping to listeners' perception. My advisors are Jianjing Kuang and Mark Liberman. I am primarily affiliated with the Penn Phonetics Laboratory and a member of the Language Variation and Cognition Lab. Additionally, I am a MindCORE Graduate Student affiliate. Starting Spring 2024, I will also serve as the Student Council Representative for the Musical Acoustics Technical Committee for the Acoustical Society of America.
Before coming to Penn, I completed my B.A. at the University of Hong Kong, double majoring in Linguistics and Music, with a minor in German. At HKU, I was affiliated with the Language Development Laboratory.
