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.

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.

His research focuses on the transcultural ramifications of slave gathering warfare in mainland Southeast Asia, Northeast India and coastal Bengal, with a special focus on enslaved artisans, religious rituals, and processes of creolization and cultural exchange. His research has received support from Fulbright-Hays (DDRA), the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), the Watumull Foundation and the Mellon Foundation. He received the World History Association's best dissertation award in 2014.
