Yvonne Tse Crepaldi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Linguistics at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. Committed to bridging research and real-world relationships, her work examines how everyday interactions—from parent-child interactions to healthcare encounters—shape social behavior and communication.

Using Conversation Analysis, she investigates how children's language use reflects social cognition, how interactional norms are acquired, and multilingual family interactions. In healthcare communication, she has contributed in research with specialist clinics in Singapore analyzing doctor-patient dynamics and family involvement in care. Currenlty she is a member of XJTLU’s interdisciplinary Health Humanities Research Group.

With prior experience in enterprise software and language-education startups, she welcomes industry and institutional partnerships (health institutions and NGOs) to translate research into practice. She currently also serves as the International Engagement Officer for her department, fostering global academic collaboration.
