Chi-Yeung Choi is an applied ecologist with expertise in animal ecology, conservation biology, wetland ecology and environmental management. He studies the relationship between animals and their environment. Current study systems include the ecology of migratory birds, with a focus on their foraging and movement ecology within and between coastal intertidal wetlands. This requires extensive fieldwork in many places ranging from Alaska and East Asia to Australia and New Zealand.

Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of housing policy, public policy process, and marginalized populations. She is especially interested in how different policy actors and contexts affect public policy processes and outcomes, with a special focus on housing policy in the U.S. and East Asian countries. Her teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include computational social science and public policy analysis. Methodologically, she has employed a wide range of analytical approaches to understanding complex processes of public policy. In her doctoral dissertation, she examined U.S.

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 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.

His research interests are in the areas of speech processing and multimodal behavior signal analysis with applications to human-centered behavioral informatics, notably in health, education and security. He has published more than 80 papers and served as a scientific committee member and reviewer for multiple conferences and journals. He was area chair of speaker and language recognition at Interspeech 2016 and Interspeech 2018.
