Dr. Mohammad Momenian

Dr. Mohammad Momenian is currently Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, С�Ŷ��Ƶ. Dr. Momenian has a PhD in Neurolinguistics. He has two main research strands. One is to look into how language-specific properties have an effect on the neural representation and processing of languages in the brain. The other, more recent, strand focuses on the role of individual differences in modifying age-related decline in language comprehension in the older population. He employs different neuroimaging modalities such as EEG and fMRI along with ecologically valid behavioural measurements for both of his research strands. Using a multi-dimensional approach, he endeavours to present a thorough picture of the language and brain across the lifespan amid diverse populations.

Dr. Wong Min Ney

Dr. Min Ney Wong

Dr. Min Ney Wong serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies at С�Ŷ��Ƶ. She earned her clinical credentials as a speech-language pathologist from The National University of Malaysia and completed her PhD in Speech Pathology at The University of Queensland, Australia.

Dr. Wong��s research focuses on motor speech disorders, including dysarthria, apraxia of speech and childhood apraxia of speech, as well as neurogenic language disorders. Her expertise covers a broad range of neuroscience and speech science areas. She utilises a diverse array of research methodologies, such as acoustic and kinematic analyses, ultrasound tongue imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques. Additionally, Dr. Wong is actively involved in developing speech and language assessment tools tailored for Cantonese-speaking individuals with communication disorders, addressing a significant need in local speech pathology.

Dr. Elaine Kwong

Dr. Elaine Kwong is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, С�Ŷ��Ƶ. She was professionally trained to be a speech therapist, and specializes in managing adult and pediatric voice disorders. Given her background as a clinician, her research interest concerns closely about different therapeutic and preventive approaches for voice disorders. They include Complementary and Alterantive Medicines like acupuncture and traditionally used techniques like semi-occluded vocal tract exercises. Dr. Kwong is also interested in studying the mechanisms and physiology of phonation. In the recent years, she had extended her research interests to swallowing. She is particularly interested in the application of ultrasound imaging to the examination and rehabilitation of dysphagia, and standardization of a diet modification framework for dysphagic patients.

Dr. CaiCai Zhang

Dr. Caicai Zhang is Associate Professor in the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies of С�Ŷ��Ƶ. Her work broadly concentrates on how language is processed and represented in the human brain, and how it interacts with other cognitive domains such as music and memory. At a more specific level, her research focuses on: (1) the relationship of language, music and brain, investigated from the perspective of how congenital amusia (commonly known as tone deafness), an innate musical pitch disorder, affects speech processing from behavioral to neural levels; (2) how sleep contributes to the consolidation of speech sound categories in the brain of L2 learners; and (3) the neurocognitive mechanisms of learning and memory problems in children with developmental disorders of speech and language. She uses a broad range of tools including behavioral methods, electroencephalograph (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study these questions. She has published more than 40 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, including Brain and Language, Scientific Reports, NeuroImage, and NeuroImage: Clinical. She is currently serving as an Editor/Associate Editor/Academic Editor for Scientific Reports, PLOS ONE, and Frontiers in Psychology.

Dr. Man-tak Leung

Dr. Leung is the Associate Professor of the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, Faculty of Humanities, С�Ŷ��Ƶ. He received his Speech Pathologist qualification from Lincoln Institute of Health Sciences, Australia and his Ph.D. degree from The University of Hong Kong.

Dr. Leung specializes in research and teaching on language processing, acquired language disorders and children reading development. He has developed several treatment approaches for dyslexic students and has gained substantial experiences in conducting school-based treatment in Hong Kong. He has published articles, books, book chapters on corpus linguistics, reading and its relationship with cognitive, psychological and linguistic development, standardized assessment and treatment for dyslexia.

Dr. Dustin Lau

Dr. Lau is currently Associate Professor of the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, Faculty of Humanities, С�Ŷ��Ƶ. Before his academic career, he worked in a variety of clinical settings as speech therapist and clinical instructor which equipped him with extensive clinical experience and knowledge.

Dr. Lau��s research interests lie mainly in clinical psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, reading development in Chinese, developmental dyslexia in Chinese and its assessment and treatment, as well as communication disorders in Chinese. He is particularly interested in phonological, morphological and orthographic processing in children with developmental dyslexia and development of clinical language assessment tools and theoretically motivated language intervention for individuals with developmental dyslexia. He is also interested in lexical processing in adult population and its neurological basis.

Dr. Angel Chan

Dr. Angel Chan is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies of С�Ŷ��Ƶ. Her training is interdisciplinary in nature, including Speech Therapy (BSc (Hons) from HKU where she also obtained her clinical qualifications as a speech therapist), Linguistics (MPhil from CUHK), and Psycholinguistics (PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany & University of Leipzig, Germany).

Dr. Chan studies child first and second language acquisition in cross-linguistic and multilingual contexts, so far involving Cantonese, Mandarin, English and German. Her interests also include typological-functional and processing approaches to the study of language acquisition, clinical linguistics, and the development of speech and language assessment tools for Hong Kong children��s L2 English and L2 Mandarin. She is collaborating with researchers from the European bilingual Specific Language Impairment (biSLI) community to study bilingual children in Hong Kong and Mainland China, and her team has adapted some assessment tools from the COST-Action-LITMUS initiative into Cantonese, Mandarin, Kam and Urdu.

Prof. Li Sheng

Prof. Li Sheng

Professor Li Sheng is a faculty member at the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies and an affiliated member of the Research Centre for Language, Cognition, and Neuroscience at С�Ŷ��Ƶ. Prior to joining С�Ŷ��Ƶ, she held faculty positions at The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Delaware from 2007 to 2021. She founded and directs the Language Learning and Bilingualism Lab. Her research is characterized by three interrelated themes: language acquisition and disorders in Chinese children, typical and atypical lexical-semantic development, and bilingual language development and assessment.? She studies how learner-internal factors, such as learning capacity and executive functions, environmental factors, such as the quantity and quality of language input, and linguistic factors, such as properties of the to-be-learned languages jointly shape learning outcomes. Through these investigations, she aims to develop psychometrically sound diagnostic tools to facilitate the early and accurate identification of monolingual and bilingual children with language disorders, and to contribute to the design of effective intervention programs.
