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 and CV, as well as a guide to creating figures in R and basic Python scripts for automation.
🎓️
Though my formal training is in speech science, what I enjoy most is analyzing data with R and using automating tasks with Python.
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 enjoy using it to identify patterns in complex datasets and, most importantly, to communicate those patterns through clear and effective graphics. I am also always eager to help colleagues debug their R code and refine figures, as data visualization is crucial in scientific research.
More recently, I’ve developed an appreciation for the efficiency of automation with Python.
I hope you find these resources informative and useful.
Sincerely,
/liæn ɑɹzbɛkɚ/
