Research Direction：

My primary research investigates human speech communication, encompassing both typical speech/voice patterns in everyday linguistics and disordered speech and voice production in pathological conditions. This interdisciplinary work integrates experimental phonetics, sociolinguistics, and speech-language pathology. A central focus of my research lies on individual variation, examining the unique speech and voice characteristics of living speakers. The long-term goal is to uncover the fundamental mechanisms underlying human speech and voice, ultimately aiming to enhance communication efficacy and quality of life for clinical populations with speech and voice disorders.

Key research areas: Instrumental (acoustic and physiological) speech and voice analysis; Variations in human speech and voice production (especially in the context of Chinese and its regional varieties); Voice problems in professional voice users; Functional communication in communication disorders.
