I am a PhD candidate at Early Learning Lab at the University of Auckland working with Associate Professor Annette Henderson. Also, I'm a collaborative researcher at Soul Machines Inc , a pioneering AI company in New Zealand.  

My research interests focus on understanding the social communication patterns in early childhood with their primary caregivers involved with screen media.  This research will be able to help develop the augmented intelligence virtual baby and to make its contribution to theoretical model-building as well as on clinical applications.  ​

Since 2014, I published over 60 articles on cognitive neurosciences and psychology as a freelance science communicator on Taiwan's famous websites, including Business Weekly and PanSci .  In 2018, I was pregnant  and I  realised that many parents face difficulties  in parenting due to their limited knowledge  of infant development. I, therefore, felt that I have a mission to help these helpless parents . You can find the scientific parenting articles in my blog, BrainyMama , as well as two local well-known parenting websites in Taiwan: Baby&Mum and MamiBuy .
