I'm a third year graduate student. My interests are in phonology and phonetics, both theoretically and computationally.
I enjoy understanding human sound systems (auditory, acoustics, articulation), and how the sound systems are used to build language grammars.
I primarily work on Chinese, especially the tones in Chinese dialects.
