Welcome to my personal website
👩🏻🎓 I am now a second-year PhD candidate in Linguistics at the LAnguages, Machines & Brains (LAMB) Lab, City University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Prof. Jixing Li.
🧠 My research focuses on the interdisciplinary study that combines linguistics, neuroscience, and computer science to explore how the human brain and large language models process language. I am particularly interested in computational simulations of language disorders in the impaired brain.
🙋🏻♀️ I enjoy hiking, photographing, drawing, and designing appointment books (手帳う). My passion extends to movies, novels, and theater. During my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to participate in plays such as Rhinoceros in Love (恋爱的犀牛), Green Snake (青蛇), and The Robbery (你好，打劫).
