Shuqi Wang 王书琪

I am actively seeking postdoctoral positions starting late 2026 in predictive processing, computational neurolinguistics, and human–LLM comparison.

I am a PhD candidate in the Language Processing Lab at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Zhenguang G. Cai. I am supported by the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship (HKPF).

My research investigates predictive language processing, with a focus on how humans and large language models anticipate upcoming linguistic input during real-time comprehension. Using behavioral methods such as eye-tracking and the visual world paradigm, I compare how humans and multimodal LLMs integrate structural, semantic, and prosodic cues to generate predictions — and where their mechanisms diverge. I am also interested in bilingual and L2 processing, particularly how cognitive load modulates prediction during consecutive interpreting. Looking ahead, I am keen to extend this work using neuroimaging methods to investigate the neural dynamics of predictive coding in language comprehension.

Before my PhD, I studied L2 processing and bilingualism at Peking University (M.A.) and Nanjing University (B.A.). I am also passionate about building academic communities — I co-founded the Computational Neurolinguistics Forum (计算神经语言学, 7,500+ followers), an academic platform bridging psycholinguistics, neuroscience, and computational modeling for the Chinese-speaking research community.
