Research experience

I have been actively involved in over ten research projects by 2025, including three nationally funded studies in China focusing on child and adolescent mental health, elderly health and so on.

Internationally, I have contributed to several child development and mental health projects in Singapore, notably the Loving Project, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) examining the effectiveness of adapted VIPPSD on early childhood development. These diverse projects have equipped me with hands-on experience in multidisciplinary collaboration across public health, psychology, and education.

Notably, I have developed a strong ability to lead the full research cycle—from generating original research questions and securing funding, to project implementation, data analysis, and publishing findings in high-impact journals. This end-to-end experience has not only refined my methodological skills but also allowed me to translate complex scientific insights into evidence-based solutions with real-world policy and practice relevance, particularly in the domains of mental health and child development.
