Katherine (Katie) Russell is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Script Encoding Initiative. She joined the SEI after receiving her PhD in linguistics from UC Berkeley, where her doctoral work centered on documenting the phonetics and phonology of nasality in Atchan, a language of southeastern Côte d’Ivoire. At SEI, she combines her expertise on minority language dynamics with broader interests in writing systems and language planning and policy. She contributes to the project “Script Legitimacy in Digital Environments: Investigating Silicon Valley’s Position as a Global...
Tzu-Yun Tung / t͡sɨ̌ ýn tǔŋ/ is a postdoctoral scholar supervised by Professor Alan Yu. She was trained as a computational neurolinguist, using both computational modeling and electrophysiological measurement to understand language processing and speech perception in real time. Her goal is to develop a research program that is theoretically motivated, experimentally rigorous, and socially relevant from a developmental or clinical perspective.
Tzu-Yun has studied how neural encodings of phonetic cues (e.g., tonal differences) affect speech perception, as well as how memory retrieval...
