Research Directions (研究领域)
Language and Well-being (语言与健康)
My research in this area centers on discourse production, particularly in individuals with Chinese aphasia and elderly Chinese speakers. I explore the phonetic, semantic, and grammatical aspects of language to understand how these elements are affected by aging and neurological conditions. The ultimate goal is to apply these insights to develop reliable methods for assessing language abilities and creating intelligent systems for early screening of cognitive impairments.
（从语音、语义、语法不同层面多维研究汉语失语症、汉语老年人语言特征，并用于语言能力评估和认知障碍智能筛查。）
Second Language Speech Learning (二语语音习得)
In my work on second language (L2) acquisition, I investigate how factors such as language background and talker variability affect the learning of L2 phonetics. Through speech perception and production experiments, I aim to construct computational models that predict learning challenges in L2 speech learning, providing insights to improve L2 teaching practices and learning outcomes.

Digital Humanities (数字人文)
My research in digital humanities relies on data science techniques to quantitatively analyse texts and explore their stylistic or semantic features, and translation styles.
