Biography

Ms. Jenny Lee is a Lecturer in the Applied Social Science Program, under the School of Arts and Humanities. She grew up in New Zealand, where she completed her undergraduate and postgraduate studies. She holds a Master of Science in Psychology from The University of Auckland, specializing in cognitive neuroscience. Her research has focused on neurophysiological responses to environmental stimuli, exploring cognitive and affective processes through psychophysical and neuroimaging techniques.

Jenny’s research spans aging, emotion regulation, and the neural correlates of noise sensitivity, utilizing advanced research tools such as Electroencephalograms (EEG), Eye-tracking, Electrocardiogram (ECG) and physiological measurements such as Galvanic Skin Response (GSR). She has presented her findings at international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. Her hands-on research experience allows her to integrate empirical methods into her teaching, bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications.

Committed to fostering critical thinking and intellectual curiosity, Jenny adopts a student-centered teaching approach. She creates an inclusive and dynamic learning environment that encourages students to challenge assumptions, explore new ideas, think critically and apply psychological theories to contemporary issues.
