Hello! I am pursuing a Master’s degree in counseling psychology at NTHU. I also have a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University. My research focuses on parent-child relationships as well as intimate relationships. I deeply enjoy and appreciate literature, for I think writers are some of the most brilliant people at capturing the complexity and beauty of humanity. I also love writing a journal and have a pretty impressive collection of stationery!

I often journey through remote regions in Taiwan, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. The aim is to share my experiences with communities and the public, with an emphasis on the importance of integrating the intricacies of intimate relationships into parental education within family settings.

I am an undergraduate student who is double majoring in psychology and economics at NTHU. I'm interested in interpersonal relationships, astronomy and space-related things. Sounds cool, right? I like milk tea, too. My current research exams the mental health of astronauts in extreme environments.

Tzu-Yun "Alice" Kung (龔姿云)

Currently, I’m a senior student at National Tsing Hua University who majors in both psychology and medical science. I’m interested in many things that are related to humans, so I take (too) many courses that are related to psychology and biology. And that’s why my friends usually say that they think I look like a tired sleepy panda (especially the “yururin panda”).

Xu Peng (彭昫)

Human internal processing has always been fascinating to me and led me to determine to venture into this field. Ways and methods to interpret and indicate this process always draw my attention, and my interest in research that sheds light on basic psychological concepts or knowledge is usually stronger than for applied psychological studies. Finally, I am a senior student majoring in psychology at National Tsing Hua University, and an RA in ERICA lab at the same time. I was also the vice director of the Kendo club at NTHU, and now a sho-dan kenshi.
