I am a cognitive-neurolinguist, interested in how language is represented in the human brain and mind across languages. 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 was a PhD student working at Laboratoire Dynamique du Langage (DDL, CNRS, Université Lumière Lyon 2) in France, supervised by 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)
• multivariate pattern analysis (scikit-learn, rsatoolbox)
• statistical analysis (Python, R)
• speech processing (Praat)

In the next phase of my journey, I aim to advance research in neurodivergent populations across developmental stages, to better understand how my work can contribute to practical clinical applications. At the same time, I seek to refine my neuroimaging skillset (e.g., 7T MRI, M/EEG) to advance my investigation of the temporal and spatial dynamics of language processing.
