Anges Vu is a PhD student at Northwestern University and a researcher with eight years of experience designing, coding, and running psycholinguistic experiments focused on bilingualism, speech production, and language acquisition. Their work centers on heritage Vietnamese in diasporic communities, blending acoustic analysis and perception paradigms to probe how speakers produce and understand shared vowels across languages. Anges has hands-on lab leadership experience—from managing child eye-tracking studies at UCSD to training undergraduates on MATLAB, Praat, and Linux—and a track record of developing experimental protocols and data pipelines. Their M.A. project revealed nuanced patterns of vowel equivalence and separation, motivating current questions about intelligibility in noise and crosslinguistic interactions (e.g., French influences). Based in Evanston, they bring both technical rigor and community engagement—teaching youth at their church and applying a practitioner’s curiosity to understudied languages like Ket.
