Dr Stone Hsieh

About

Dr Hsieh's research focuses on the associations of behaviours and environment with cognition, psychopathology, and mental health during development, as well as how different evidence-based interventions can address ADHD, psychopathology, and disordered eating. Dr Hsieh completed his PhD in exercise psychophysiology at National Taiwan Normal University in 2018. Afterwards, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Center for Cognitive and Brain Health at Northeastern University between 2019 to 2021. He joined Kingston University as a Lecturer in September 2021 and then progressed to Senior Lecturer in August 2024.

Undergraduate courses taught

Research

In the Brain Resilience, Exercise, and Development (BREAD) Lab, we study 1) behaviour intervention, such as exercise, for children with ADHD, 2) the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and mental health, and 3) the psychology of hedonic and/or disordered eating and interventions to address them. We use a cross-disciplinary approach to address our research questions. We also actively collaborate with local charities (e.g., ADHD Embrace, Gaming the Mind, Archiving for Children) and clinicians from NHS in research projects.
