From October 1st, 2025, I'll be starting a new position as an Assistant Professor at The School of Digital Humanities and Computational Social Sciences at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
As a linguist and syntactician, I explore the principles that underlie complex phenomena involving the structure of natural language. Recently, I have growing interests in the biological underpinnings of these principles, as well as the role of linguistic knowledge in effective and safe use of large language models.
I received my Ph.D. in linguistics at Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT in 2024. Before my Ph.D, I studied for a B.A. and M.A. in linguistics at the Department of Linguistics at Seoul National University. You can reach me at eunsunjou @ kaist.ac.kr .
