Hyun Kyung Rachel Lee

Postdoctoral Fellow

My research interests lie in the neural mechanisms underlying language processing in native and second language learners. I am also interested in utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate language learning and development in bilinguals and individuals with special educational needs.

Robert Marcelo Sevilla

Postdoctoral Fellow

My research interests include the Xiang group, Sinitic typology, acoustics (of hesitation markers like uh and um in particular), and grammatical variation (of classifier constructions in particular). I’m also willing to chat about diachronic linguistics with anyone, rain or shine!

Junghwan Maeng

Postdoctoral Fellow

Dr. Junghwan Maeng’s primary research interests center around sentence processing, with a particular focus on how structural information contributes to the formation of sentence representations in first and second language processing of typologically distinct languages. Additionally, his work explores morphological processing across diverse populations, including native, nonnative, and bilingual speakers, with the goal of understanding the unique role of morphology within the mental lexicon.
