I was a DPhil student (viva-ed on 1st May 2018) at the Language and Brain Lab. My supervisor was Professor Aditi Lahiri and my DPhil thesis, Tianjin Mandarin Tones and Tunes, was about the production and perception of intonation in a tonal language -- Tianjin Mandarin.
I received my Master's degree in Linguistics and Language Acquisition from Newcastle University (UK). There, I worked on a number of projects including child language acquisition, second language acquisition, Mandarin lexical tone perception, etc. For my undergraduate degree, I studied Translation and Interpreting at Beijing Foreign Studies University (China). Following my DPhil, I worked in A-Lab at Rokid Inc. as a TTS linguist (Linguistics Engineer). So far, I have studied the subject of language from quite a few different perspectives. These experiences are indeed very fascinating.
My research interests are laboratory phonology, psycholinguistics, and language acquisition. Or anything that involves an element of prosody (lexical tones, intonation, stress, rhythm, etc.)
