I am a professor in the department of English Language and Literature at Sungshin Women's University. I was awarded my Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2007. After completing the Ph.D. program, I spent a couple of years in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Victoria, offering courses on phonetics and phonology both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. From 2009 to 2012, I had served as an assistant professor in the Department of Linguistics and Languages at McMaster University, again teaching undergraduate and graduate students phonetics, phonology, and research methods such as statistical analysis of linguistic data. My research interest is in the structural encoding of speech, and the interplay of factors from phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, and discourse structure that govern speech forms. Prosody is an organizational structure of spoken language, and therefore it serves the best basis on which I conduct my research. My research focuses on the linguistic structures of speech utterances, based on the analysis of large corpora of written text and spoken speech.
