Annabel CHEN Shen-Hsing is an Associate Professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and Director of the Centre for Research and Development in Learning (CRADLE). A licensed clinical neuropsychologist (USA and Singapore), she specializes in neuroimaging and cognitive processes. Her roles include academic leadership, clinical research, and directing interdisciplinary educational neuroscience initiatives.

Education & Experience:

• Doctorate in Clinical Rehabilitation Psychology (Purdue University)
• Clinical Psychology Internship (West Virginia University School of Medicine)
• Post-Doctoral Residency in Clinical Neuropsychology (Medical College of Wisconsin)
• Post-Doctoral Research Affiliate (Stanford University Lucas MRS/I Center)

Research Focus: Investigating neural substrates of higher cognition (e.g., language, memory, executive control) in the cerebellum and cerebro-cerebellar systems. Studies include neuroimaging applications for aging, dementia, schizophrenia, and neurodevelopmental disorders. She explores neuromodulation (TMS/tDCS), cognitive training, and BCI to enhance brain function and inform interventions.

Lab & Initiatives: Leads CRADLE, focusing on neuroscience-based learning and education. Research spans healthy aging, atypical populations (ASD, ADHD), and translational approaches to cognitive rehabilitation.
