My areas of interest are syntax, semantics, corpus linguistics and natural language processing. My recent research topics include right dislocation, wh-placeholders, mirativity, the negative wh-construction, and synthetic/analytic variation of English comparatives/superlatives.

I am also Research Fellow, T.T. Ng Chinese Language Research Centre, Institute of Chinese Studies (CUHK).

Hong Kong is my home town. I speak Cantonese, English and Mandarin. I am a Christian.


For since the creation of the world God's invisible
qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been
clearly seen, being understood from what has been made,
so that men are without excuse. (Romans 1: 20)
