Présentation

I am looking for a postdoctoral position in neurolinguistics.

My research focuses on understanding how the human brain and mind organize linguistic features during speech processing by investigating two main questions:

  1. How are speech sounds, word meanings and emotional cues encoded and decoded during speech perception and production?
  2. How does our native language influence the way we hear, understand, and learn a foreign language?

Along my research journey, I explored semantic and phonological associations in the mental lexicon during my MA in Linguistics (National Chengchi University, Taiwan, 2020). Then, I studied sensorimotor representations for native and non-native phoneme perception during my PhD in Neuroscience (Université Lumière Lyon 2, France, 2025). Through my research in psycho- and neurolinguistics, I have developed expertise in:

  • fMRI experiments (3T sparse/continuous sequence)
  • multi-voxel pattern analysis (Nilearn,scikit-learn,rsatoolbox)
  • Statistical analysis/programming (Python, R)
  • Speech processing (Praat)

Having recently defended my doctoral thesis (January 2025), I am actively and autonomously developing my research career. I’m always open to brainstorming new research ideas and building potential collaborations, especially within (but not limited to) my current research interests in cognitive psycho- and neurolinguistics with cross-linguistic comparison, focusing on:

  • sensorimotor representations in language processing
  • speech processing of articulatory features
  • prosodic encoding of emotions
  • structure and access of the mental lexicon

Please feel free to get in touch!
