I study how language changes, and build small, useful systems for language technology.
My work sits somewhere between phonetics, speech AI, product thinking, and the web. I am particularly interested in making voice systems more natural, reliable, and human to use.
- Building PaperFlow, a calmer way to discover and revisit research papers.
- Working with multilingual speech systems: TTS, ASR, evaluation, and data quality.
- Researching vowel shifts in Wu dialects.
- Shi Lab AI Assistant — a lightweight knowledge workspace for research groups.
- Wuyu Vowel Chain — data and analysis for a dialect sound-change project.
- PaperFlow — a personal research reading workflow, in progress.
I like systems with clear thinking, calm interfaces, and a good ear for language.
