I am an assistant professor at Early Childhood Education, National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in Taiwan. My research centers around children’s emotional development and social participation. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines technological innovations, I emphasize the role of the social and physical environment in shaping children’s experiences and wellbeing in educational contexts, taking into account children’s diverse needs.
I have published more than 30 research articles in international peer-reviewed journals in the fields of Psychology, Education, and Medicine, and won Governmental Scholarship to Study Abroad from Taiwan Ministry of Education and different research grants in the Netherlands. In 2024, I was elected as a Yushan Young Fellow by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education.
BA in Foreign Languages and Literatures at National Taiwan University, Taiwan (2006-2011); MA in Linguistics at Leiden University, The Netherlands (2011-2012). Research assistant at Otorhinolaryngology, Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan (2012-2015). In 2016 I started my PhD project at Focus on Emotions Research Lab at Leiden University, on the topic of emotion processing and eye movements in social contexts in DHH children. After obtaining PhD in 2020, I continued postdoc research in Leiden University, on autistic children’s social networks in schoolyards using sensing technologies (e.g., GPS).
Before joining NTHU, I was a Lecturer in Developmental and Educational Psychology, Leiden University; and the coordinator of the Creating Smart Societies research coalition at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Free University Amsterdam).
