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.

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.

Shuang ZHENG
Postdoctoral Fellow
I am primarily interested in phonological learning and learnability. My research examines how phonological learning is shaped by formal structure, phonetic substance, and linguistic experience. I combine artificial language learning experiments with neural network modeling to investigate both human learning behavior and the mechanisms that may give rise to it.
