Beyond my day to day duties as a clinical research coordinator, I spearheaded my very own research project to identify the psychological predictors of lower-limb orthotic device adherence. I independently conceptualised, developed, and proposed this collaborative project between the Department of Psychology and Department of Podiatry to fulfil the thesis requirement of my undergraduate degree.

I also collaborated with my fellow lab members on the development and validation of a novel mindfulness questionnaire designed for the Singaporean population.

During my time as a clinical research intern, I was primarily involved in the generation of a mindfulness item pool designed for the Singaporean population. I also conducted a number of cognitive interviews to ensure the suitability and intelligibility of these items.

I also assisted in other research projects assessing the efficacy of mindfulness-based group interventions in clinical populations (e.g. stroke, sleep difficulties).

Under the supervision of Associate Professor Ryo Kitada and Dr Achille Pasqualotto, I conducted independent research to examine the multisensory relationships between pleasantness and softness.

In this study, we adapted the affective priming paradigm to investigate how the affective processing of visual stimuli is influenced by tactile softness perception. A poster of this study was presented at the DISCOVER URECA Poster Exhibition and Competition 2019.
