Welcome!

I am a second-year PhD student in Linguistics at Yale University where I am fortunate to be advised by Robert Frank and Tom McCoy. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences (Linguistics concentration) from Wellesley College in 2023, where I was advised by Carolyn Anderson and Angela Carpenter. I am originally from Shanghai, China.

My research centers on the following two questions:
(i) How is meaning acquired and represented in large (multimodal) language models?
(ii) How can we develop and evaluate natural language processing systems using linguistic insights?

Aside from computational linguistics, I also work on dynamic models of articulation under the framework of Dynamic Field Theory.
