I joined the Department of African and Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of Florida in fall 2002. I got both my MA and PhD in linguistics from the University of Toronto. My major focus is on Vietnamese phonology, both segmental and suprasegmental.

I have also worked on gender, language change and second language acquisition. My current project deals with tone in different dialects of Vietnamese, both production and perception, and later the acquisition of Vietnamese tones in first and second language.

I have published a number of papers on Vietnamese literature, a number of poems and a volume of Vietnamese poetry that I wrote.
