I am a Ph.D. student in cognitive neuroscience at the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL) in San Sebastián, Spain. As a member of the Spoken Language Group, I work on several projects related to speech perception gradiency, the sensitivity to subphonemic differences, under the supervision of Efthymia Kapnoula and Arthur Samuel. My research examines the sources of speech perception gradiency, its functional roles in speech perception flexibility and speech production, and its relationship to sound cue variability in Spanish-English bilinguals. To investigate these topics, I use EEG, eye-tracking, and various behavioral tasks.

I am broadly interested in bilingualism and language processing across different modalities, with a particular focus on speech perception. I am also interested in individual differences in second language learning.

Before my Ph.D., I earned my undergraduate and M.Phil. degrees in Psychology from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Under the guidance of Urs Maurer, I conducted EEG studies on neural adaptation and mismatch negativity in typical readers and children with dyslexia during my M.Phil. research. For my undergraduate thesis, I examined language switch costs across different modalities (reading, writing, speaking, and listening).
