ABOUT

I am a JSPS postdoctoral fellow at IRCN Cognitive Developmental Robotics Lab, University of Tokyo, led by Prof. Yukie Nagai. I also have close collaboration with IRCN BabyLab, University of Tokyo, led by Prof. Sho Tsuji.

I received my doctoral degree in cognitive science from the department of Cognitive, Linguistic and Psychological Sciences (CLPS), Brown University, under the supervision of Prof. James Morgan. My dissertation work was on homophony: why some languages (like Japanese) have more words like night and knight, and how native speakers cope with those differences.

I am broadly interested in spoken word processing and word learning, and I am especially interested in cross-linguistic and cross-cultural comparisons.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
