About Me


I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Efthymia Kapnoula and Arthur Samuel in the Spoken Language Group at the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL) in San Sebastián, Spain. My research focuses on speech perception gradiency (i.e., sensitivity to subphonemic differences) and consistency (i.e., the stability of cue-to-category mapping). I investigate the sources, malleability, and functional roles of these two constructs. To address these questions, I use EEG, eye-tracking, and a range of behavioral methods.

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

I received my Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from BCBL, where I conducted my doctoral research under the supervision of Efthymia Kapnoula and Arthur Samuel. Before joining BCBL, I earned my undergraduate and M.Phil. degrees in Psychology from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where I conducted EEG research on neural adaptation and mismatch negativity in typical readers and children with dyslexia under the guidance of Urs Maurer.
