Jamie Choo
Final Year Project Student (AY2025/26)
Jamie is a fourth year Psychology Undergraduate at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). After interning at a special needs preschool and a non-profit organization doing youth work, she learnt that every child and youth is unique in their own ways and come from varying backgrounds with many stories to tell. She finds satisfaction in building bonds with them and supporting those who needs help. She hopes to use what she has learnt in Psychology to help these vulnerable populations in the future, especially with the rise in mental health issues among youths. In her free time, she enjoys watching crime documentaries and shows. Her favourite food is hotpot – whether Chinese, Japanese or Korean!
Under the supervision of Dr Albert Lee, Jamie’s Final Year Project (FYP) explores the motivations underlying undergraduates’ use of Generative AI in their academic work. Given that Generative AI will continue evolving and is undoubtedly part of every student’s life, knowledge on students’ underlying motivations can help academic institutions develop more effective and focused guidelines surrounding the use of Generative AI in academic work.

Wong Jing Rung
Final Year Project Student (AY2025/26)
Jing Rung is a final-year Psychology undergraduate at NTU, also pursuing a Minor in Youth Work & Guidance. She has always been intrigued by how the environment shapes individual development and influences decision-making in daily life. Specifically, her passion lies in understanding child development and factors impacting their mental health, which aligns closely with her interest in clinical psychology.
To decompress from the hectic pace of university life, she enjoys spending quality time with her loved ones – chatting about anything and everything. When she’s alone, she also likes to watch dramas/movies (the sadder the better…)!
She is currently working on her FYP under the supervision of Prof Albert Lee, focusing on the anthropomorphism of God and its effects on beliefs in tempting fate. As a free thinker, she looks forward to exploring the various aspects of religiosity that may influence one’s tendency to anthropomorphise God and how these factors affect their thought processes.

Chia Zhi Ai
Final Year Project Student (AY2025/26)
I am Chia Zhi Ai, a fourth year student at Nanyang Technological University, pursuing a Double Major in Economics & Psychology. I’m deeply curious about human decision-making processes, and my interdisciplinary combination has fruitfully exposed me to diverse perspectives of understanding how both individuals and larger societies make choices to function overall. I enjoy courses that enrich my appreciation for intrapersonal and interpersonal processes, whether it’s from a cognitive or social perspective.
During my semester exchange at University of Oslo (UiO), I had the opportunity to collaborate with students from different cultural backgrounds in fascinating modules on personnel psychology and psychology in the context of sustainability, which was a memorable, eye-opening experience.I discovered further nuances in cross-cultural differences during class discussions with students across the globe, which later fuelled a greater interest in cultural psychology as well. The class discussions with students across the globe were greatly enriching, offering many new perspectives, which sparked a greater interest in cultural psychology
Outside of school work, I find satisfaction in devoting my time to exploring new fields. Whether reading non-fiction to learn about unfamiliar topics or engaging in hands-on crafts like pottery and baking, I enjoy immersing myself in experiences that challenge me to grow in different ways.
As part of my time in CRCC, I will be embarking on an FYP project to explore how people perceive AI bots in comparison to human agents. Amidst the evolving discourse on AI globally, I hope that my research will contribute insights towards helping myself and others to form a more nuanced ethical standpoint towards AI bots.

Shanna Tan
Final Year Project Student (AY2025/26)
I am Shanna Tan, a final year Psychology student. Before my current studies, I studied Interior Design at Singapore Polytechnic, and this field continues to influence my interest in how people experience spaces and make sense of their surrounding environment. In the field of psychology, I am particularly interested in the field of social and cognitive psychology, with a focus on perception and social influences.
Under the supervision of Professor Albert Lee, my research partner, Eliza, and I will be conducting our graduation project on the involvement of AI in industries. With the growing trend of AI use, we hope to not only explore questions around social perception, authorship, and responsibility, but also reflect on the wider perspective about its role, our expectations, and the boundaries we draw around it.
Outside of school, I enjoy working on design projects with a local firm. Therefore, along with what I study, I am especially curious about how insights from psychology and design can complement one another in understanding human experience, and how these can enrich my future practice in interior design.
