Hello! I am currently a postdoctoral senior research associate at the ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS) within the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University, the UK.

I work closely with Professor Elena Semino, Professor Paul Rayson and Professor Sheila Payne on the 4D PICTURE project, with an aim to develop a conversation tool for cancer patients, their significant others, their clinicians and citizens based on the analysis of patient experience data and citizen science methods.

My research interests include using computer-aided methods, such as corpus analysis, data analytics, and natural language processing, to study metaphors as linguistic, discourse, and communication phenomena. I am especially interested in cross-linguistic differences in figurative language, with a particular emphasis on comparing Chinese and English. I also touch upon multimodality and cognitive translation studies.
