Xingfeng Yang

Radboud University

I am a PhD candidate at Radboud University in the HUM.AI.N-ACCENT consortium, co-supervised by Dr. Susanne Brouwer, Prof. Dr. Mirjam Broersma, and Dr. David Peeters. I investigate accented speech processing, using virtual reality and eye-tracking to explore how listeners perceive and adapt to non-native accents. My broader interests include psycholinguistics, (second language) speech perception, and (second language) phonotactics.

I hold an MA in Phonetics and Phonology from Université Paris Cité and a BA in English from Heilongjiang University. I also completed the first year of the Research Master in Language and Cognition at the University of Groningen.
