Hello, I’m Rainy
I’m a Postdoc at Stanford GSE studying early reading and literacy development. My advisors are Rebecca Silverman and Jason Yeatman.
Prior to Stanford, I was a postdoctoral researcher (advisor: Elika Bergelson) at Harvard LDS working on early language environment and acquisition, since January 2025.
I obtained my DPhil in Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, where I focused on the children’s emotion words in written language. I was advised by Kate Nation and Robert Hepach.
Before that, I completed my BSc in Psychology at University College London.
