I'm a PhD student at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, University of Cambridge.

My PhD research is on segmental/suprasegmental interactions in Seoul Korean. I'm currently investigating how Seoul Korean speakers use various acoustic cues such as speech melody and timing to form phrases in speech, and how these cues are used by listeners. I'm also interested in speech rhythm (in both linguistic and psychological senses) and psychophonetics.

I'm supervised by Prof Francis Nolan, and my advisor is Prof Sarah Hawkins.

Background

I'm from Seoul, South Korea. My first degree was in Child Welfare & Studies and English Language & Literature at the Sookmyung Women's University (2001-2005). The major part of my studies was on child psychology and development (in a very traditional way - I was into the analytical psychology of C. G. Yung and play therapy). Then, I was awarded an MSc with distinction in Developmental Linguistics, at the University of Edinburgh (2005-2006).
