Yuxin Ge is a postdoctoral researcher in second language (L2) phonology at CLUNL, currently supported by an ERA Fellowship under the HORIZON-WIDERA-2024-TALENTS-02-01 call. Her research investigates how adult learners acquire non-native phonological features and vocabulary, focusing on the cognitive mechanisms underlying learning and individual differences in learning outcomes. Yuxin holds a PhD in Linguistics from Lancaster University (UK), where her doctoral research used a cross-situational statistical learning paradigm to examine the acquisition of non-native words by adults. During her PhD, she contributed to the ProPerL2 project at CLUNL [FCT grant agreement 2022.04013.PTDC], and subsequently held a postdoctoral position at CLUNL funded by the Global Advancement Fund from Lancaster University.
