Hello! My name is Daoxin Li (李道昕 [lì tɑ̂ʊ̯ ɕín]). I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

My research focuses on the cognitive and computational mechanisms of language acquisition. Using a combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches, I develop language acquisition models that are both quantitatively explicit and empirically grounded. I also have secondary research interests in theoretical syntax.

Before joining UNC, I received my Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University's Infant and Child Development Center.
