Ha Eun Hannah Shim

Welcome! My name is Ha Eun.

I am a first year Ph.D. student in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am a member of Computational Sentence Processing Lab.

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!

I received my M.A. in Linguistics from Simon Fraser University in Canada and B.A. in English Language and Literature from Ewha Womans University (Summa Cum Laude) in South Korea. At SFU, I was co-advised by Chung-hye Han and H. Henny Yeung. I am an active member of the Xsyn Lab and the LangDev Lab.

• Before joining SFU, 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.
