Here is Yue Chen (陈玥 [ʈʂʰən35 ɥœ51]).

I am a first-year PhD student in Linguistics at the University of Southern California (USC). Before joining USC, I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in Linguistics and Psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and served as a Research Assistant at the Language and Cognition Development (LCD) Lab, Language Processing Lab and the UCLA Language Acquisition Lab. Following my graduation, I held a position as a Junior Research Assistant under the supervision of Prof. Maggie Ziyin Mai at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).
