As an Applied Psychology master candidate specialized in Embodied Cognition, I integrate my field-specific knowledge in HCI and Neuro-ergonomics with intercultural psychology insights from my interdisciplinary academic training in Asia and Europe (Visiting Research Internship at National Taiwan University, Training in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Nanjing Pharmaceutical University, academic exchange at Sungkyunkwan University, Applied Psychology student at Tsinghua University). My main research focus is Embodied Cognition in Neuro-ergonomics and assistive technology design (I implemented Embodied Cognition and Ergonomics principles as co-author of an award-winning paediatric tooth bot for cavity prevention in paediatric population; and I am currently working on the development of a pilot mental health companion within the framework of the Chaoyang Venture Builders Community program. I have also collaborated with students from the department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University in the design of an assistive chatbot for empathetic AI companionship). My main professional objective is designing assistive technology for mental health rehabilitation that leverages on Embodied Cognition and Neuro-ergonomics to ensure technology is human-cantered and the affordances of assistive AI ensure maximum therapeutic effect. I am specialized in cognitive behavioural therapy (exposure therapy) and my expertise in Neuro-ergonomics allows me to navigate effectively fertility, reproductive health, and affective education. A core principle of mine is integrating my understanding of intercultural psychology in standard protocols for psychometric and therapeutic sessions, for I believe human-centric therapy is first and foremost grounded in the mutual acknowledgement of contextual clues which determine communication patterns, mutual trust, and safe co-therapy design.
