I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics at New York University. My advisor is Maria Gouskova.

My primary research interests lie in phonology, particularly at its interface with morphology. Much of my work draws on data from understudied languages, with a special focus on Tibetan.

Before coming to NYU, I received my BA in linguistics at the University of Chicago, where I was advised by Karlos Arregi. I also worked with Ming Xiang at the Language Processing Lab.

My surname is written as 顾/顧 and pronounced as [ku˥˩] (high-falling tone, voiceless unaspirated stop). In English contexts, [gu] is a perfectly acceptable approximation.
