  mentoring_philosophy: |
    My mentoring philosophy revolves around empowering undergraduate students to excel in their project work through a combination of ownership, accountability, shared experience, and interactive learning. I believe in fostering an environment that nurtures their growth and encourages independent thinking.
    I emphasize giving mentees ownership of their work by involving them in project decisions, from goal setting to execution. This not only bolsters their confidence but also instills a sense of responsibility for their outcomes. I promote accountability by setting clear expectations and milestones, enabling them to track their progress and take pride in their achievements.
    Drawing from my own experience, I share stories of challenges and successes, illustrating the real-world applications of their efforts. This bridges the gap between theory and practice, enhancing their understanding and motivation. I also encourage open dialogue, where questions and ideas are welcomed, creating an interactive platform for collaborative learning.
    I understand that each student is unique, with varying skills and aspirations. To accommodate this, I tailor my guidance, offering guidance that aligns with their interests and goals. I provide resources, recommend reading materials, and suggest relevant workshops, fostering holistic development.
    In conclusion, my approach to mentoring undergraduates centers on nurturing their autonomy, cultivating responsibility, leveraging shared experiences, and fostering an interactive learning ecosystem. By doing so, I aim to not only support their immediate project objectives but also to equip them with lifelong skills for success.

  overall_research_project_description: 'Population aging and age-related cognitive declines present unprecedented challenges for the United States and the world. Social, cognitive, and activity engagement has the potential to protect against cognitive declines in middle-aged and older adults. Information communication technologies (ICT) can provide opportunities for all those engagements. Numerous cross-sectional and longitudinal studies suggest that ICT use in late adulthood is associated with cognitive benefits, while experimental studies providing ICTs and ICT trainings to older non-users showed mixed results. The current study aims to: (1) quantify the associations between ICT use and baseline cognition in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, (2) quantify the protective effects of ICT use on cognitive changes in longitudinal studies, and (3) examine whether introducing ICTs to older non-users has cognitive benefits.
