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 (mentor: François Pellegrino), where I also worked as a PhD student (supervisors: Véronique Boulenger, Claudio Brozzoli, Alice C. Roy). 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, rsatoolbox)
  • Statistical analysis (Python, R)
  • Experimental design (PsychoPy/Pavlovia, Opensesame/Jatos)
  • Speech processing (Praat)
