Dr.
PENG received his Ph.D. in Language Engineering from City University of Hong
Kong in 2002. Before he joined the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies
in 2016, he worked at the Language Engineering Laboratory (LEL) at City
University of Hong Kong (LEL moved to the Chinese University of Hong Kong in
2004), the Signal, Speech and Language Interpretation Lab at the University of
Washington, the State Key Laboratory of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at
University of Hong Kong, again LEL at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and
Department of Linguistics and Modern Languages at the Chinese University of
Hong Kong. Dr. PENG has published research articles in various high-profile
international journals such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of
the United States of America; Brain and Language; Neuropsychologia; Journal of
Speech, Language, and Hearing Research; Journal of the Acoustical Society of
America; Journal of Phonetics; Language and Cognitive Processes. He is Adjunct
Professor of Shenzhen Institutes of
Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Dr.
PENG's central focus is to investigate how language is represented and
processed in the human brain, and how different cultures, reflected in their
languages, shape perception differently. He adopts a broad multidisciplinary
perspective for the study of language and the brain, with primary focus on the
two most distinct features of Chinese language, i.e., tones and logographic
script. His research areas include psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics,
experimental phonetics, computational/corpus linguistics, hearing disorders,
and so on.
