Welcome! My Korean name is Dokyung [tokjʌŋ], but I go by Chloe. I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computing and Software in McMaster University.

My research interests lie in phonetics, morphophonology, and computational linguistics. In my dissertation, I examined phonetic patterns of Korean word-medial stops in noun-noun compounds because I was curious about how phonological contrasts are maintained or reshaped amid phonetic variation within individual speakers. I am passionate about uncovering patterns in complex linguistic data and understanding the cognitive mechanisms that underlie the acquisition of such patterns.

Outside of work, I love to watch horror movies, visit breweries and wineries, and cuddle with my precious orange cat, Nuri.
