Sleep Habit/A Mobile App to Reduce Bedtime Procrastination
This research presents the design and functionality of a mobile app aimed at addressing bedtime procrastination among busy professionals. The app leverages self-regulation principles, social accountability, and gamification to promote healthier sleep habits. Core features include personalized goal-setting, bedtime routine tracking, progress monitoring through dashboards, and social sharing to enhance motivation. Users benefit from custom reminders, community support, and rewards for consistent adherence to bedtime goals. A typical user experience includes daily reminders, habit reinforcement through motivational messages, and weekly progress summaries. By fostering structured sleep routines, the app improves sleep quality, energy levels, and overall well-being.
Examining employer’s attitudes and behaviours towards migrant domestic workers
Development of a new scale to measure employer attitudes and behaviours towards migrant domestic workers. Scale will subsequently be used to investigate how employer attitudes and behaviours relate to the mental health and well-being of MDWs
Using simulated clients to enhance the training of clinical psychologists
We will use actors as simulated clients (SCs) in the first semester’s Masters in Psychology (Clinical) coursework subjects. Actors will accurately portray specific symptoms or behaviours, allowing students to gain hands-on experience with diverse psychological issues in a low-stakes environment. This approach will hopefully provide students with realistic, culturally diverse practice, helping students build confidence and competence before interacting with actual clients. Quantitative and qualitative feedback will be collected from students.
Development of an Online Tour planner with AI Chat for the Indigenous Tourism Industry in Sarawak
The project team is seeking funding to facilitate the commercialization and translation of the research into a practical tool, aiming to create an impact on industry practitioners. Specifically, the team aims to develop a prototype of an online tour planner powered by AI Chat based on the research findings.
The online tour planner is designed to support and promote the Indigenous tourism industry in Sarawak through enabling potential tourists to personalize their travel itineraries based on their preferences, interests, and available time. By tailoring experiences to individual needs, the platform aims to enhance accessibility to Sarawak’s rich Indigenous culture, traditions, and destinations, fostering meaningful connections between travelers and the region’s unique heritage. This initiative will contribute to the growth of the local tourism industry while celebrating and preserving Sarawak’s Indigenous culture.
The prototype will be co-developed by JCU team and Krux Asia (AI developer), and tested by Scubaquest (a travel agency). The prototype could be further commercialized and replicated to other industries in Sarawak or other tourism destinations.

Goal-Focused and Social Monitoring Approaches to Reducing Bedtime Procrastination
This project aims to develop a web application that engages users in setting bedtime goals, making the goals public on social media, monitoring the goals, and tracking sleep behaviours. It also aims to test the efficacy of the web application in reducing bedtime procrastination using an experimental approach. The web application designed for the study can be refined and developed into a mobile application for commercialization. The commercialization of the mobile application could attract academic and industry collaborations and opportunities for external research grants.
Asian shark and ray capacity building workshops
This was an invited proposal from (1) Synchronicity Earth and (2) the Save Our Seas Foundation to support capacity-building efforts for shark and ray researchers and conservationists in Asia. The project will see 30 delegates from 9 countries across Asia to attend a week-long capacity and skills development workshop hosted at Palawan State University in the Philippines.
Temasek Foundation Youth Connect Restful Minds Initiative: Tier 3 (moderate intensity services)
This project involves the training and evaluation of a sleep intervention for youth in Singapore.
