Hello! I am
Xuehuai,

a PhD student at Yale Linguistics*. I graduated in 2025 from Pomona College, where I studied mathematics and linguistics. I am interested in the union of these two fields and particularly in their intersection.

*: I am on personal leave and will not have access to the US or Yale from Sept. 2026. All plans to attend events / conferences in the US are cancelled.

Below are some of my projects and fun facts (probably outdated).
