Jing Yang

Jing Yang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her research focuses on speech development in bilingual and monolingual children, speech perception in second language learners, and speech production in children with cochlear implants.

Her work explores phonetic system interactions in bilinguals, acoustic analysis of speech deficits in cochlear implant users, and perceptual challenges in adverse listening conditions. She leads the Speech Acoustics and Development Laboratory, utilizing advanced acoustic analysis and experimental phonetics methodologies.

Recent publications highlight trends in Mandarin phonetics (2013-2025), with a focus on consonant/vowel development, cochlear implant efficacy, and L2 perception strategies. She has also contributed to studies on audiovisual integration and frequency compression algorithms in hearing technology.

As a mentor, she trains students in rehabilitation sciences and technology, though specific advisee names are not listed in the provided text. Her research has implications for speech therapy, language acquisition, and auditory technology development.
