About Me

I am a language researcher and educator specializing in language learning and linguistic data analysis. My research employs methodologies from corpus linguistics, text mining, and machine learning to explore the impact of experience and instruction on foreign language acquisition. I investigate how prior input influences future processing and what speech patterns reveal about our cognitive frameworks.

As a lecturer in the German Department at Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, I engage in a variety of educational initiatives both within and outside academia. My work emphasizes vocational training, language proficiency, and employability, as well as fostering international exchange. Currently, I serve as a DAAD teaching fellow, contributing to cross-cultural educational collaborations.

I live and work in the Chinese megacity of Chengdu. Chengdu is the capital of the southwestern province of Sichuan and surrounded by the Chengdu Plain known as the “Land of Heaven”.
