Research Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have three goals: (1) integrate cognitive, social, and affective skills to promote whole-child development, (2) partner with stakeholders to address children\u2019s needs, (3) build transdisciplinary communities to advance education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve these goals, I collaborate with stakeholders and interdisciplinary scholars (e.g., cognitive science, education, human-computer interaction, data science, learning analytics, and public health) to design dynamic interventions that adapt to the diverse needs of individuals and various contexts. We promote whole-child development through designing, testing, and analyzing physical and digital activities (e.g., cooking, shopping, building, playing) that ground learning in children\u2019s cultures and environments. We generate and translate evidence to advance policy and practice for child wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve organized many interdisciplinary events, including the Math Cognition and Learning Society 2025 Conference, to stimulate innovation and collaborations among researchers and practitioners worldwide. With Jacobs, I will extend collaborations with innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors in the Asia-Pacific region and around the globe to advance education for all children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":43753,"template":"","class_list":["post-43738","fellow","type-fellow","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fellows_category-jacobs-cifar-research-fellowship","fellows_cohort-2026-2028"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nJenny Yun-Chen Chan - Jacobs Foundation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/jacobsfoundation.org\/fellows\/jacobs-cifar-research-fellowship\/jenny-yun-chen-chan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jenny Yun-Chen Chan - Jacobs Foundation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Research Focus I have three goals: (1) integrate cognitive, social, and affective skills to promote whole-child development, (2) partner with stakeholders to address children\u2019s needs, (3) build transdisciplinary communities to advance education.
