I am a cognitive-neurolinguist, interested in how language is represented in the human brain and mind. My research focuses on understanding how speech sounds, word meanings and emotional cues are encoded and decoded during speech processing, and how our native language influences the way we hear, understand, and learn a foreign language.

I am currently an associate researcher at the Laboratoire Dynamique du Langage (DDL, CNRS, Université Lumière Lyon 2) in France, where I also worked as a PhD student under the supervision of Véronique Boulenger (CNRS), Claudio Brozzoli (Inserm), and Alice C. Roy (CNRS). Having studied sensorimotor representations for native and non-native phoneme perception during my PhD in Neuroscience (Université Lumière Lyon 2, France, 2025), as well as semantic and phonological associations in the mental lexicon during my MA in Linguistics (National Chengchi University, Taiwan, 2020), I have developed expertise in:

• fMRI protocols (3T sparse/continuous sequence)
• Neuroimaging multivariate pattern analysis (scikit-learn/MNE, rsatoolbox)
• Statistical analysis (Python, R)
• Speech processing (Praat)

In the next phase of my journey, I aim to explore language processing in neurodivergent populations across developmental stages, with the goal of contributing to clinical and educational applications. At the same time, I seek to refine my neuroimaging skillset (e.g., 7T MRI, MEEG) to deepen investigations into the temporal and spatial dynamics of language.
