I am a PhD student in psycholinguistics at Indiana University Bloomington. My research interests are sentence and word processing using experimental (reaction time, accuracy, eye-tracking) and neuroimaging (EEG) methods.

I mainly focus on how individuals use linguistic cues–such as syntax, semantics, and prosody–to resolve structural ambiguities. I am also interested in comparing human syntactic processing with that of large language models (LLMs). In addition, I work on written word recognition and orthographic processing in Chinese.

I work closely with Dr. Chien-Jer Charles Lin in the Language and Cognition Lab. I also work with Dr. Bonnie Nozari in the Language Production and Executive Control Lab.
