Ong Zhi Quan (Alfred) is a Research Fellow in the Department of Information Systems and Analytics under the NUS Institute of Operations Research and Analytics. His current research stream focuses on the development and employment of technology-based interventions in promoting health-related behavior. This stream translates to the conceptualization and testing of theories to explain: (i) how technology-based platforms and wearables (such as Fitbit) are employed to promote health-based behavior such as exercise, diabetes management and workplace fatigue, and (ii) the best possible ways to design the platforms to maximize their efficacy. Outside of work, Alfred participates in volunteer work and is a gourmet enthusiast.
