Biography
Welcome to my website! I’m CUI Tianxiang (崔天祥), a PhD student in the Department of Psychology, University of Macau, supervised by Prof. TONG Kwok Kit. I’m also a research assistant in SCI-Cream Lab at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, working under Prof. HE Jinbo’s supervision.
I served as a part-time translator at Chengdu Language Bridge Translation Co.,Ltd. from 2020 to 2021. One of the accomplishments was the translation (from English to Chinese) of The Story of Pokémon in 2021, which is now available on Chinese platforms in 2023 (I’ve been a fan of Pokémon since primary school). In my leisure time, I enjoy reading, practicing calligraphy, listening to music, singing, etc.
