Welcome! My name is Ha Eun.

I am an M.A. candidate 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 of the Xsyn Lab and the LangDev Lab. I also participate in a field research reading group led by Jozina Vander Klok.

I am a computational psycholinguist and experimental linguist, with current research interests centered on sentence processing, the prosody-syntax interface, and AI applications. (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 (Summa Cum Laude) from Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea.

  • I worked with Jinwook Choi in the Medical Informatics Lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Seoul National University, gaining hands-on experience on medical NLP and LLMs-related projects.

  • Later, I worked with Sujin Yang in the AGE Lab in Psychology and Hye-Won Choi in Linguistics at Ewha, deepening my love and passion for linguistics.
