Research

As of Fall 2021, I am a fourth-year PhD student.

I am generally interested in sentence processing. My current work focuses on the interplay between word recognition and syntactic integration processes, primarily using eye-tracking techniques. This includes both English and Chinese reading.

My first year was supported by College of Natural Sciences (CNS) Graduate Fellowship. I have worked with Dr. Adrian Staub as a research assistant.

I was a teaching assistant for Dr. Andrew Cohen in Psych 640/641 Graduate Statistics course.

Currently I work as a research assistant for Dr. Brian Dillon and Dr. Tal Linzen on constructing a large-scale eye-tracking database on syntactic ambiguity processing.

I am a ad-hoc reviewer for the following journals mainly on the topics of (1) character-word segmentation/recognition in Chinese sentence reading and (2) misreading and rational inference over noisy-channel
