His current research focus includes AI-assisted intelligent transportation systems, internet of vehicles, wireless sensor network, and mobile vehicular cloud/edge computing.

His research focus is on intersections of nonlinear dynamics, acoustics of Asian musical instruments, and mathematical physics. He is currently interested in the tuning of the guqin and guzheng, and with high-frequency overtones of both spoken Chinese and Asian operatic singing. For fun, he writes high school-level physics competition problems and experiments.

Sprague has an M.A. in teaching English as a second language from Pennsylvania State University, where he focused on second language writing and theories of second language acquisition. He served as an English language fellow sponsored by the U.S. State Department from 2015 to 2018. In that capacity, he traveled through China providing training in teaching methodologies. He has previously lived in Beijing, Chengdu, Shenyang and Kaifeng.

Her research lies at the intersection of comparative politics, behavioral economics and experimental psychology with a focus on civic engagement and democratic participation at the local level. Conceptually, she is interested in the psychological mechanisms of political learning. Empirically, she combines field experiments, lab experiments, and ethnographic fieldwork to identify how political efficacy interacts with extreme political skepticism during democratic consolidation.

His primary research interests focus on independent language learning, intercultural communication, language teaching, diglossia and the historical development of written Chinese vernaculars. Snow has a Ph.D in East Asian language and cultures from Indiana University. He has taught English at Nanjing University and, before joining Duke Kunshan, was director of the English Language Center at Shantou University.

His primary research interests lie in the fields of probability, statistics, combinatorics and graph theory. His teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include data science and discrete mathematics. He is the co-author of two books, "Bonferroni-type Inequalities with Applications" (Springer's Applied Probability Series, 1996) and "Products of Random Variables: Applications to Problems of Physics and to Arithmetical Functions" (Marcel Dekker, 2004).

Her research focus is the bio-inspired materials with advanced functions and performance. She is especially interested in sustainable applications, i.e. water harvesting, synthetic trees, special wettability. Her teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include bio-inspired smart materials, analytic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. She has had papers published in leading academic journals including ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Advanced Materials Interfaces, Advanced Materials, and ACS Nano.

His primary field of research is second language writing test performance. For his M.A. dissertation, he carried out a research project entitled "An investigation into the factors that affect computer-based language writing test performance." Other research interests include how peer reviews and computer-assisted language learning can be used to enhance language teaching and learning. He is an experienced teacher of English for academic purposes (EAP) and other related subjects at the university level. He has taught English for more than 14 years in China, Turkey and the U.K.

Her research focus for her doctorate centered on the design and teaching of writing courses for English-medium universities. Specifically, it involved understanding postgraduate assessments to create a postgraduate EAP writing curriculum more applicable to postgraduate degree-specific writing assessments. Furthermore, in terms of curriculum development, she is interested in corpus linguistics to develop and make practical changes to classroom materials and re-evaluate goals for learning outcomes.

His research focus is on economics, economics and business strategy, durable good markets, and market research. His teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include economics and marketing strategy. He has moved between the business world and academic world during his career. He was an entrepreneur early in his career, earning membership of the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Hall of Fame, and later returned to graduate school. He has been on the faculty of the University of Texas, Dallas; the University at Buffalo (SUNY); and most recently Northwestern University. Sattler has B.Sc.
