Prof. Cheung H.N. Amy

Assistant Professor

Professor Amy Cheung, a PhD graduate in clinical psychology from the University of Edinburgh, has developed a diverse research portfolio that covers a wide range of age groups, from adolescents to the elderly, in various settings that include both clinical and community environments. Her work primarily focuses on understanding and addressing depression and fostering self-compassion. Her research has attracted funding from notable bodies such as the Research Grants Council and HSBC, acknowledging the potential impact of her work with high-ability adolescents and underserved populations in understanding depression and the effectiveness of compassion-based interventions. Amy Cheung has a solid foundation in psychometrics and network modeling, which she applies with consideration and diligence in her scholarly investigations.
