I’m a Master’s student in Experimental Psychology at NYU. Previously, I spent my undergrad
years studying Spanish Philology and Cognitive Psychology at Peking University, China, and
then spent a post-bac year at UCSD working with Dr. Sarah Creel on pitch production and
phoneme acquisition.
Currently, in the Poeppel Lab, I mainly work with Andrew Chang. Combining computational (signal
processing), behavioral, and neuroimaging (fMRI) techniques, we study how acoustic features
may contribute to the perceptual differences between speech and music. Broadly speaking, I am
curious about how the human brain extracts information and builds up meanings from complex
auditory signals. Outside the lab, I enjoy reading, cooking, and exploring bubble tea shops.
