Our research focuses on developing and evaluating the efficacy of various novel interventions for the treatment of sleep and mental disorders, drawing on traditional Chinese medicine (e.g., Chinese herbal medicine & acupuncture), exercise science (e.g., Tai Chi), and psychotherapy (CBT-I). Our work has led to multiple publications in top-tier journals, including the BMJ, the Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, British Journal of Sports Medicine, and more.
