Her research focus lies in the intersection among psychology, language learning and teaching. She is especially interested in how the acquisitional processes of Chinese as a second language can be explained from a psychology perspective. Recently, her research interests have expanded into multilingual identities of learners and foreign language teacher education. Chen has a B.A. in teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages and a M.A. in linguistics and applied linguistics from Beijing Language and Culture University, and a Ph.D.

Her research aims to promote holistic wellbeing and prevent chronic diseases, especially among underrepresented and underserved populations. She is particularly interested in using mixed methods and GIS mapping and modeling to investigate the root causes of chronic diseases, develop and evaluate health programs and policies.

His research focuses on mathematical modeling and computation in quantitative finance and efficient numerical algorithms for?partial differential equations?and integral equations arising in science and engineering. Chen has a B.Sc. in financial mathematics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He held?postdoctoral positions at the University of California, Berkeley, from 2017 to 2021.

His research interest hinges on the intersections between computation and design. With the rise of smartphones and other internet-connected devices, design choices become increasingly data-driven and dependent on information's credibility in the construction of the human habitat. Chang's research focuses on human habitat's design, environmental impact, and information's credibility in the big-data age.

Her research focuses on South Asian and world history, with special attention to labor, migration and gender. Her teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include global China studies, global history and South Asian history. Chakraborty has a B.A. and M.A. in history from Jadavpur University, India, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in history from the University of Pittsburgh. Previously, she was a visiting assistant professor at Oberlin College and a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Historical Studies, University of Texas, Austin.

His professional interests include student assessment, cooperative learning, and pedagogical practices for improving student writing. Before teaching in China, he taught English learners for several years at major universities in the United States. Castrejon has a B.A. in English education and an M.A. in teaching English as a second language with an option in rhetoric and composition from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

He is a specialist in the art and archaeology of early China with a broad interest in the interconnections within Eurasia. From art historical and technical perspectives, his first monograph manuscript examines the rise of indigenous bronze industry in the Yangtze River region in the late second millennium B.C. In the 15th century B.C., the Erligang state expanded from the Central Plain, and along the way disseminated its highly established bronze art and metallurgy.

His research has three foci: (1) harmful algal blooms (HABs), (2) microbiomics, and (3) molecular systems biology. The HAB research aims to identify the functional genomic repertoire that drive bloom formation, and the interaction between functional repertoire and eutrophic conditions through multi-omics integration. Microbiomics aims to the understand the interactions among different group of microbial taxa in microbiomes of aquatic and soil environments, and the underlies genomic functional mechanisms.

He is interested in probability and combinatorics including randomized algorithms, random graphs and random tree, in particular: Galton-Watson trees; binary search trees and split trees; random directed graphs; peer-to-peer computer networks; and graph coloring. He also likes programming and using computers to experiment, prove, and teach mathematics. He has taught courses in applied mathematics and computer science, such as calculus, combinatorics, discrete mathematics, and algorithms. Cai has an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. from McGill University, Montreal.
