Welcome


Data visualization with aRzbecker


👋

Hi! I'm Lian, a speech scientist with a keen interest in acoustic analysis, sociolinguistics, and concise communication.

I'm currently a Postdoctoral Associate in the Motor Speech Disorders Lab at the University of Buffalo. This website features my publications, academic CV, and a step-by-step guide to creating figures in R.
🎓️

Though my formal training is in speech science, what I enjoy most is analyzing and visualizing data with R.

I was introduced to R during my PhD program at Ohio State. Initially, I was the sole R user in my research lab, so I focused on learning the language independently. I quickly grew to appreciate its open framework and ever-expanding repository of packages.

Over the past decade, I've worked with various programs and software—but R remains my preferred language. I genuinely enjoy using it to identify patterns in complex datasets, with the ultimate goal of communicating those patterns with graphics. I am also always eager to help colleagues debug their R code and refine figures, as data visualization is crucial in scientific research.

I hope you find these resources informative and useful.

Sincerely,
/liæn ɑɹzbɛkɚ/
