My primary research interests centre around how language constructs and conveys meaning. Currently, my work focuses on how the brain combines smaller bits of language into complex linguistic and conceptual structures. I am investigating this topic as a PhD student with Olaf Hauk and Matt Lambon Ralph at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at the University of Cambridge.

I am a postgraduate member of St Catharine's College, home to the Tunku research community. My doctoral research is supported by a Gates Cambridge Scholarship.

I was raised in Malaysian Borneo, a linguistically heterogeneous environment that exposed me to a plethora of linguistic phenomena. I sought explanations by exploring different facets of language research. My undergraduate at UCL introduced me to formal linguistics and the philsophy of language. During which I was a research assistant under Wing Yee Chow and Richard Breheny, studying real-time sentence comprehension and scalar implicature with behavioural methods and electroencephalography. I spent a summer at Harvard University studying the development of semantic processing under Jesse Snedeker. After graduating I explored and honed my interests in the neuroscience of language by working with Liina Pylkkanen at New York University and Andrea E. Martin at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics.

Navigating higher education and academia is daunting for many, and particularly so for underrepresented groups. Throughout my training, I am privileged to have had mentors who continue to support and encourage me in my work, education, and beyond. I am committed to promoting access to higher education and academia and to mentoring students from all backgrounds.
