About

Xin chào! 你好! Yaama!

I am a linguist specialising in language variation and change, contact linguistics, and computational sociolinguistics. My research is largely corpus-based, focusing on bilingual contact phenomena and multilingual language use.

My work spans a broad range of topics, including:

Variationist linguistics
Heritage language
Syntax-pragmatic interface in bicultural/bilingual contexts
Multilingual NLP
NLP for spoken low-resource varieties

I hold a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Cambridge and a Master’s in General and Applied Linguistic (Advanced) from the Australian National University. I am currently Assistant Professor in Linguistics and Multilingual Studies at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Current Interests and Collaboration

I’m particularly interested in:

Language variation and change in ethnically diverse communities
Sociolinguistically informed NLP
Tech innovations for multilingual speakers

Open to collaborations! Feel free to get in touch.
