Ha Eun Hannah Shim

Welcome! My name is Ha Eun. I’m a second-year M.A. student in the Deparment of Linguistics at Simon Fraser University. I am deeply grateful to be co-advised by Chung-hye Han and H. Henny Yeung. I am an active member in the Xsyn Lab, the LangDev Lab, and the LAB Lab.

I am a computational psycholinguist and experimental linguist, with research interests centered on the speech technology, prosody, and prosody-syntax interface.

My primary research interests focus on how acoustic and prosodic cues can help us disambiguate sentence structures and meanings. I investigate how these cues influence the acceptability and processing of ambiguous/complex syntactic constructions. (See the Research tab for more!)

Outside academia, you’ll likely find me reading comics, café-hopping, or wandering through museums!

Before joining SFU, I received my B.A. in English Language and Literature from Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea. I worked with Jinwook Choi in the Medical Informatics Lab at Seoul National University, gaining hands-on experience on medical NLP projects. Later, I worked with Sujin Yang in the AGE Lab and Hye-Won Choi at Ewha, deepening my love and passion for linguistics.
