Welcome

I am an assistant professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at Kyungpook National University. I was a postdoctoral research fellow in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Exeter as part of a research team with Nicolas Dumay and Arthur Samuel, after completing my PhD in Linguistics with Meghan Clayards at McGill University.

Broadly speaking, I am interested in psycholinguistics, speech perception, phonetics, applied linguistics, and second language acquisition. My research focuses on understanding the linguistic representations and cognitive processes involved in speech perception and production, second language speech, and word recognition and learning. I am particularly concerned with how these processes differ across individuals and how they can inform language learning and processing.
