Born in Suzhou, I am currently a PhD student at the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

My research focuses on psycho-prosody - exploring how the suprasegmental features of speech convey and influence behavioral and neural responses. I utilize an interdisciplinary approach, integrating acoustic analysis, psychological, and neuroimaging techniques (especially EEG) to study speech processing and the neural foundations of speech. I am fascinated by the intersections of these fields.

I am honored to have reviewed papers for the ICPhS2023 conference. I am also thrilled to collaborate on the ManyBabies project “Individual differences in infants’ social evaluations across cultures” (MB4I), investigating cross-cultural differences in infant social cognition.

Beyond research, I enjoy immersing myself in manga like Hunter x Hunter, swimming, and painting. I also worked as a graphic designer, designed logos [e.g., The Modernist Studies in Asia Network (MSIA)] and painted materials for multiple experiments. In my undergraduate years, I served as captain of the Mandarin Speech and Debate Association at EdUHK and now continue to coach debaters on the part-time basis.
