Research summary

Suzhen Duan's work sits at the intersection of education, technology design, and well-being, exploring how robotics, storytelling, and design thinking can support learning and identity development in children and students, including underrepresented groups. A parallel line of work examines subjective well-being and mentoring practices, such as course-embedded happiness activities and woman-to-woman mentoring, often drawing on frameworks like PERMA. This research is largely applied and design-oriented, aimed at improving educational programs and personal/professional well-being.
