Invited talk at The Rising Star Women in Engineering Workshop 2025, National Taiwan University, Taiwan; Honored as an Outstanding Postdoctoral Research Fellow at National Tsing Hua University; Organized a tutorial titled 'Understanding and Mitigating Bias in Emotion Recognition Systems' at IEEE ACII 2025; Started as a Postdoctoral Researcher at National Tsing Hua University; Successfully defended her PhD dissertation and became Dr. Chien.
Research Experience
Postdoctoral Researcher at the Behavioral Information & Interaction Computation Lab, NTHU, working with Professor Chi-Chun Lee (Jeremy). Research focuses on modeling emotions in interactive and multimodal contexts. Leading the development of a large-scale multimodal interaction corpus capturing co-speech gestures, full-body motion, and expressive speech during dyadic conversations. Designing affective computing frameworks that move beyond static, unimodal processing by modeling dynamic emotion co-regulation, turn-taking cues, and gestural-prosodic synchrony in real-time interactions.
Education
Successfully defended her PhD dissertation in March 2025, officially becoming Dr. Chien.
Background
Currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Electrical Engineering at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. Her research interests primarily revolve around affective computing, machine learning, and multimodal (speech, physiology) signal processing. Recently, her research scope has broadened to address critical aspects of trustworthy AI, focusing on privacy, fairness, and bias within emotion recognition technologies.
