About Me
Hello! I am a first-year PhD student at UCLA Linguistics, specializing in (Psycho-)phonology and phonetics. I study how the structure and fine details of language are produced, perceived, and changed with various methodologies, such as experimentation, computation, and fieldwork. In particular, I am interested in the relation between phonology and the phonetic and psycholinguistic reality of articulation, planning, and processing. For more details, see my CV.
My MA Thesis (i.e., qualifying paper), advised by Kie Zuraw, investigates how the timing of the retrieval of lexical entries and associated phonological units affects phonological variation, specifically external sandhi, during speech planning. I am also currently working on a number of projects projects of phonological and phonetic processing, speech planning and prosody, advised by Kie Zuraw, Sun-Ah Jun, Jonah Katz, Jesse Harris, Megha Sundara. Previously, I worked with Yao Yao, Keith Johnson, Alexandra Pfiffner, and Jonathan Havenhill.
