She was a Korean Foundation for Advanced Studies Fellow at Yonsei University, South Korea in 2017-2018; and a Visiting Academic Researcher at Lancaster University, UK between 2015 and 2016. Having received her PhD in Chinese Studies at Fudan University, Shanghai, much of her research concerns Malaysian Chinese community in the area of Sociolinguistics (language maintenance and shift, language variation, family language policy, linguistic landscape, and identity). Her other main interest is Applied Linguistics – especially in the area of technology-enhanced language learning and teaching. Her articles on these topics have been published in an authored book and high impact journals, e.g., Language in Society, Lingua, Educational Technology Research and Development, Innovations in Education and Teaching International, as well as a variety of edited volumes published by international publishers and university presses. 

She would be interested to hear from potential postgraduate students with interest in sociolinguistics and applied linguistics. Research studies relating to language vitality, sociolinguistic variation and linguistic landscape are particularly welcome.
