Designing Reflective Technologies from Daoist Perspective
This line of research investigates how Daoism, as a non-Western philosophical tradition, challenges dominant Western framings of reflection as goal-directed, cognitively driven, and centered on individual self-improvement and problem-solving. Drawing on Daoist epistemologies and ontological commitments, we develop design directions for reflective technologies in HCI and contribute conceptual resources that broaden research agendas in HCI and design.

Community-Driven Techno-Spiritual Care for Kidney Health
This research explores community-driven kidney health engagement with Malay-Muslim communities in Singapore, centering spirituality, trust, and community care.

Personal Informatics and Reflective Self-Tracking
This project explores how personal informatics tools (e.g., self-tracking) can support reflection as meaning-making, rather than simply behavior change or performance optimization. Through design and qualitative inquiry, we examine how people interpret data alongside routines, emotions, and life circumstances. The project contributes design directions for personal informatics systems that are more human-centered, context-aware, and supportive of sustainable well-being.
