Aoju Chen received her PhD from Radboud University Nijmegen in 2005, and subsequently joined the Language Acquisition Group at the Max Plank Institute for Psycholinguistics as staff scientist. Her research is rooted in intonational phonology and takes an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing phonology, phonetics, pragmatics, language acquisition and language processing.
