Linh Pham

About Me

Hi! My name is Pham Le Nhat Linh (I love it when people call me Nhat Linh /ɲət lɪŋ/). I'm a 4th year PhD student studying linguistics at The University of Southern California (USC), where I am supervised by Professor Elsi Kaiser.

My main research area is psycholinguistics with a focus on sentence processing. Specific topics I am currently working on and interested in are similarity-interference in wh-constructions, anaphora resolutions, and encoding interference.

I have started to learn and do research in bilingualism, particularly the shared-syntactic models in bilingual language processing.

Pursuing equality in education is another major mission in my life. Thus, I am operating social projects to provide education to underprivileged groups – Daffodils Education Project.

When I’m not doing linguistics or education, I love singing (check my channel here) and taking pictures of the sun, the sky, and the stars.
