简历

Dr Chen Chao-Ying is a rehabilitation scientist specializing in pediatric physical therapy, in particular the early development and assessment of high-risk infants.  She is also a licensed physical therapist in Taiwan and a certified General Movement Assessment (GMA) investigator for infants.

Dr Chen obtained her Bachelor of Sciences degree and Master degree from the National Yang-Ming University in 2006 and 2008 respectively.  During her Master’s studies, Dr Chen studied lower extremity kinematic performance and insole intervention effect during gait in children with flexible flatfoot.  As Dr Chen’s interest lies in pediatric physical therapy and infant development, she studied her PhD in The Infant Laboratory of The Ohio State University from 2009 to 2014. During her PhD studies, Dr Chen investigated early motor, cognitive, and autonomic performance of high-risk infant populations, including preterm infants and those with perinatal stroke and complex congenital heart diseases.  After receiving her PhD degree in 2014, Dr Chen spent two years as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Minnesota, investigating brain development and function using brain imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in infants with brain bleeding and children with cerebral palsy. 

Dr Chen aims to align her training and experience to enable research results that will support and enhance the developmental outcomes and quality of life in high-risk infants and children with disabilities.
