He received his PhD in Linguistics from Leiden University. His research focuses on experimental phonetics, sociophonetics, and Chinese dialectology, with particular emphasis on Wu and Xiang dialects. He investigates sound system variation and change using laboratory phonetic methods, including tone–segment interaction, phonetic variation, and language contact effects.
