About

Welcome! I am an assistant research fellow at the Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica. I was previously at the Department of Linguistics, New York University, where I received my PhD in September, 2020. My dissertation “Feature systems, inventory structures, and phonological classes” was supervised by Gillian Gallagher.


I am interested in the relationship between speech perception and phonotactics, as well as the typology of phonemic contrasts and inventories. In addition to phonetics and phonology, I also have an interest in natural language processing (NLP), especially in the application of NLP and machine learning tools in answering questions in linguistics.


I am also interested in the interaction between predictability and prosody in spontaneous speech. My works in phonetics mostly focus on Taiwanese (Taiwan Southern Min).
