About me

I am a third year Ph.D student in the Department of Linguistics at The Ohio State. My main focus is on phonology and its interfaces with other aspects. I was trained as a software engineer and mathematician before I decided to move on to Linguistics, as a scientist. I also worked for two years as an engineer. I am multilingual. My mother tongues are Mandarin Chinese and Lower Yangtze Mandarin (淮安话). I am also fluent in Spanish, and German.

Both my first and last names are Mandarin Chinese.
You will probably see some computer science papers, under Tian-Yi Ni. That is also me.
How to pronounce my name: 天[tʰjɛn55] 益[i51]; 倪 [ni35].
You may use 'he/him/his' pronouns when referring me in English.
