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.

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.

Rayne, Xiaoyu YU
Postdoctoral Fellow
Trained as an experimental phonologist, I focus on the cognitive and linguistic factors involved in the learning and processing of sound systems. My research employs both behavioral and neurophysiological (e.g., EEG) approaches. More broadly, I am also keen to explore phonological learning from various perspectives, including second language/dialect acquisition, phonetics, language variation and change, and psycholinguistics.
