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.

My research interests in phonetics and phonology include the interaction between prosody and predictability, phonotactics, and the typology of phonemic contrasts and inventories. My works in phonetics mostly focus on Taiwanese.

I also work in the field of 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 evaluation of neural network models using linguistic tasks.
