The PolyU Academy for Interdisciplinary Research (PAIR) is delighted to present the fourth episode of the PAIR Research Impact Video Series. This series invites PAIR researchers to share their latest research achievements and innovative solutions to major societal challenges.
The fourth episode, titled “Dissecting Mental Health with Mathematical Models: From Complexity to Simplicity, from Distress to a Matter of Choice”, features Prof. QIU Anqi, Director of the Mental Health Research Centre (MHRC), Associate Dean of the Graduate School, Professor in the Department of Health Technology and Informatics and Global STEM Scholar.
In this episode, Prof. Qiu discusses her research on applying mathematical and engineering approaches to mental health. These novel methods enable psychologists to provide more accurate diagnoses and treatments for children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her studies in model analysis and deep learning AI also demonstrate that mothers’ emotions during pregnancy have a direct impact on foetal brain development. Furthermore, Prof.Qiu’s research highlights the importance of weight management in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Watch the video now to discover how Prof. Qiu’s research is offering new perspectives and making a significant impact on mental health!
