I am a linguist specializing in phonetics and phonology. My research explores the intricacies of speech, from the influence of prosody on speech production to the study of tone systems and cross-linguistic phonetic patterns. Most of my work centered around two topics: the phonetics-phonology and phonetics-prosody interface. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Zürich, working on using multilingual phonetic corpus to probe into phonetic universals and variation in speech production.
I hold a Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University at Buffalo, SUNY and an M.A. in Japanese Language Education (日本語教育) from the University of Tsukuba. My expertise extends to computational linguistics, with skills in R, Python, and Praat scripting. I am dedicated to advancing our understanding of the complexities of human speech.
