- "text": "Lab director\n\n\n\n\n\nYu Junhong— Assistant Professor of Psychology\nPhD, The University of Hong Kong Research interests: My research makes use of multimodal neuroimaging to study neuropsychology and cognitive aging in general. In particular, I am interested neurocognitive disorders, superior cognitive aging, neural predictors of cognitive decline and cognitive enhancement interventions\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResearch Staff\n\n\n\n\n\nCharly Billaud— Research Fellow\nPhD (Neurosciences), Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom\nResearch interests: Translational research involving neuropsychology and neuroimaging, including structural/functional MRI, DTI, and MEG. I have a particular interest in both aging and paediatric clinical populations with neurological disorders and developing markers of cognition and behaviour. My work involves structural and functional network analyses and graph theory.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDexter Chew— Research Assistant\nBA (Psychology), University at Buffalo\nResearch interests: My research interests are in topics such as Mental Health of Elderly Patients, Elder Abuse with Long-Lasting Psychological consequences as well as Psychosocial Development of Criminals. I became interested in the mental health aspects of the elderly stemming from 2 years of working in the non-profit sector as well as being an active member of the grassroots level in Singapore. This has helped establish the different views and interests in the elderly being overlooked or becoming a marginalized group of individuals in society. Further interests in criminal psychosocial developments stemmed from an interest in reading serial killer bibliographies and documentaries that have led to a fascination of how the minds of hardened criminals are like.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDionis Chong— Research Assistant\nBA in Psychology, Dublin Business School\nResearch interests: The general scope of my research interests include topics on creativity, intelligence and interpersonal relationships. Having been a gig musician for most of my life, the function of creativity relating to mental health and function as always been on the forefront of my curiosity. The skillset I’ve attained through learning how research is done in college allows me to pursue this question through a proper scientific means. I did my undergraduate thesis on Romantic Passion and Emotional Intelligence through Attachment Styles between the two biological sexes, which jumpstarted my interest in the inner workings of interpersonal relationships and how they relate to intelligence and mental functions. I hope to gain more skills within the neuroscientific sphere while working in this lab to enhance the quality of my research into these topics in the future.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGraduate students\n\n\n\n\n\nSavannah Siew— PhD student\nB.Soc.Sci (Psychology), National University of Singapore\nResearch interests: Neuropsychology, mindfulness, clinical psychology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanice Koi— PhD student\nB.A. Hons (Psychology), Nanyang Technological University\nResearch Interests: I am interested in using multimodal neuroimaging techniques to study the neurocognitive mechanisms of healthy aging.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUndergraduate students\n\n\n\n\n\nKayla Tan— FYP student\nResearch Interests: I am interested in the inseparable role brain functions have in psychological phenomenon, particularly ADHD; anxiety and depression.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Zheng Long— FYP student\nResearch Interests: I am interested in understanding the pathology of affective disorders and neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. I seek to do so using neuroimaging methods, like structural, functional and diffusion MRI. Specifically, I use approaches like network neuroscience, DTI, and fixel-based analysis. I am also curious about the value of these neuroimaging markers as predictors of AD progression.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEllsie Lee— FYP student\nResearch Interests: mental health and it’s underlying mechanisms and management.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCandace Tan— FYP student\nResearch Interests: My research interest is in neuropsychology, particularly in neurodivergent populations and in neurodegenerative diseases. I seek to learn more about neuroimaging techniques and how they can be used to support research in these areas.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBryan Yeo— URECA student\nResearch Interests: My research interest lies in using neurocognitive assessments and brain imaging techniques to better understand neurodegenerative disorders associated with ageing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmilienne Ho— URECA student\nResearch Interests: I am interested in neuropsychology, especially how brain injuries or neurological disorders impact a person’s mental state and daily life. I hope that with access to neuroimaging techniques, I can study more about this effect.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNicolas Lok— URECA student\nResearch Interests: My research interests focus on psychiatric disorders, with a particular emphasis on anxiety-related disorders, as well as neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. I am passionate about understanding the underlying mechanisms of these conditions and exploring potential therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIsaac Teo— URECA student\nIsaac Teo— URECA student Research Interests: My interests are in the mechanisms of cognitive decline in ageing and its associated social, emotional, and behavioural outcomes. I am also interested in the development of interventions that delay cognitive decline and optimise brain health to preserve functions and maintain dignified ageing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrevious Students\n\nFYP\n\nLisa Wong (2023-2024)\nTan Fu Miao (2023-2024) — Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medal, and Best Datablitz Presentation at AS4SAN 2024 conference\nAngel Lee (2023-2024)\nGenevieve Ling (2022-2023)\nCleon Chang (2022-2023)\nYuvaraj Arumugam (2022-2023)\nLoh Raye Fion (2021-2022)\n\n\n\nURECA\n\nKng Jia Hao (2023-2024)\nWang Jieqi (2023-2024)\nAlastair Khoo (2023-2024)\nXavier Lim (2023-2024)\nLee Zheng Long (2022-2023)\nGisele Cheong (2022-2023)\nCeline Chan (2021-2022)\nDan Yuet Ruh (2021-2022)"
