Introduction
Dr. Poon’s research primarily focuses on interpersonal relationships and processes, with an emphasis on the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral impacts of ostracism, objectification, and related forms of interpersonal maltreatment. Specifically, he investigates when and why ostracism and objectification lead to undesirable outcomes (e.g., psychosocial maladjustments and antisocial behavior). He also actively explores ways to assist people in coping with these interpersonal setbacks. Acknowledging his research accomplishments, he was awarded the Association for Psychological Science’s Rising Star Designation and the Education University of Hong Kong’s President’s Award for Outstanding Performance in Research (Early Career Research Excellence Award).

Introduction
Dr. Buchtel received her PhD in cultural psychology (social/personality area; quantitative minor) from the University of British Columbia in 2009, and her B.A. from Yale University in 1999. In between, she spent four years in Changsha and Beijing, teaching English at the high school and university levels and learning Mandarin Chinese.
My research seeks to explore and deepen our understanding of Chinese cultural influences on psychology, including moral concepts, values, motivation and reasoning styles, and their implications for Western theories. I use interdisciplinary approaches, multiple/mixed methods with cross-cultural data (e.g. psychophysiological data, qualitative data, quantitative surveys and experiments) and adopt open-science practices.
https://emma-buchtel.wixsite.com/home
In my teaching, I aim to cultivate positive attitudes towards diversity, curiosity and excitement about new ideas, and to teach skills that help my students learn and benefit from different perspectives. Please take a look at our pedagogical project on teaching discussion skills in the Hong Kong context (https://eduhk-pt.wixsite.com/ptindiscussion), cultivating positive affective attitudes towards culture (https://cultivateglobalpers.wixsite.com/home). I have also given a TEDx talk on how to connect across cultures despite differences in moral concepts, “Culture, Morality and Connecting Across Differences” (https://youtu.be/LToLDHWKGBE), and a little teaching video on how to visualize the within-culture diversity that exist even though there are also on-average cultural differences: “De-Essentializing Bar Graphs: Diversity within Differences” (https://youtu.be/RsPFyy4MptY).

Introduction
Kammy has received academic and professional training from local and U.K. universities. Currently, she has been pursuing a doctorate degree in Education in University of Bristol. She has strong passion for teaching. Psychology is her favourite subject in which she has been impressed by theories and knowledge to understand human beings and explain their minds, behaviours, and feelings in a deeper sense. The motivation of leading the next generation of students to the next level – being their “better me” has driven her to educate and care about them whole-heartedly. Her research interests lie in self-compassion (in the area of psychology) as well as digital technology-mediated teaching and learning in higher education (in the area of education). She has devoted to doing research on teaching and learning. She is the Principal Investigator of “Digital Pedagogy: Exploring the Effectiveness of Social Media in Teaching and Learning”, which is funded by the Leaders of Learning Cluster Grants (2017/18). She is also funded by Student Affairs Office to organize workshops and activities to promote positive development of mental health in the university community.

Introduction
I completed my doctoral training at Dalhousie University, Vancouver Coastal Health, and the University of British Columbia, Canada, specializing in clinical psychology and clinical neuropsychology. I am a registered clinical psychologist of the Hong Kong Psychological Society and a registered psychologist of British Columbia, Canada. My clinical and research interests include the interaction between sleep and daytime functioning, neuropsychology of medical and psychiatric disorders, and spirituality and mental health. Currently, my primary line of research aims to uncover some of the complex relationships between sleep, emotional and cognitive functioning. I am also actively involved in a series of longitudinal investigations on the various psychosocial factors contributing to the formation and transformation of beliefs in Chinese.

Introduction
My research interests are broadly on topics of human motivation and well-being. Currently, I am working on 1) the promotion of compassion (toward self and other), and mindfulness, 2) how the adoption of different values and goals can affect the satisfaction of psychological needs, learning, interpersonal relationships, and quality of life, 3) the development of brief psychological intervention, 4) the impact of social media on cognitive functioning and well-being, and 5) the impact of high quality listening on interpersonal relationships.

Introduction
Dr. Lin received her PhD degree in Social Psychology from Lehigh University, U.S. She is broadly interested in social cognitive processes that explain biased decisions. Her first line of work examines implicit biases and trust decisions in social interactions. Her second line of work applies the literature of intergroup biases into studying how teacher behavior (such as differential teacher expectations) contributes to student learning and psychosocial adjustment. She also explores social dynamics in classrooms as potential moderators of the associations between interpersonal relationships and student well-being.

Introduction
My enthusiasm for Psychology could be dated back to when I first took Psychology in my HKALE exam. I have always found it fascinating how people ostensibly “of different kinds” may end up being similarly helpful or sinister, thanks to perceived or salient social influence. After obtaining my first degree in Psychology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, I pursued postgraduate training in the United Kingdom. Following the completion of my MRes Psychology at the University of Manchester, I embarked on my PhD at the University Nottingham while primarily examining the relationship between gratitude and prosociality (or sanctioning) in a behavioral economics context.
Prior to joining EdUHK, I undertook multiple teaching assignments (both local and overseas) during my nearly two-year stint with the Department of Applied Social Sciences of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I was also actively engaged in the administration and subsequent analyses of a large-scale cross-institution scale validation project involving 8 UGC-funded universities in 2017.
My research interests mainly focus on two related areas. First, I am interested in the assessment of prosocial or cooperative behaviors with the utilization of economic games. I am also interested in the role of emotions, particularly gratitude, combined with other situational factors in contributing to people’s willingness to cooperate. My research repertoire was, thanks to the participation in the aforementioned validation project, expanded to include also scale validation.

Introduction
Dr. Clive Wong received a bachelor's degree in computer engineering. However, his developing interest in understanding human behaviour drove him to pursue a degree in psychology, which moved his work path to human-centered industries such as training, education, and behavioural therapies for children with autism. Dr. Wong pursued further studies and earned his MPhil degree from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Hong Kong, where he examined structural disconnectivity in autistic children.
Dr. Wong then completed his PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. During his doctoral studies, he concentrated on one of the most basic cognitive capacities, processing speed, which is critical in a variety of conditions including developmental abnormalities and age-related cognitive decline.
Dr. Wong's research interests include using novel approaches to investigate cognitive processes, particularly in the context of processing speed and attention control. He employs advanced neuroimaging techniques such as EEG (electroencephalography), fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), and fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy) to gain deeper insights into brain function and cognitive processes. These cutting-edge tools allow Dr. Wong to examine neural activity and connectivity patterns associated with processing speed and attention, potentially leading to a better understanding of individuals with developmental disorders or cognitive decline.
In his ongoing research, Dr. Wong explores the use of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) techniques to study processing speed and attention control. This innovative approach promises to further enhance our understanding of these critical cognitive processes, potentially revealing new insights into how the brain manages information processing and attentional resources. By leveraging BCI technology, Dr. Wong aims to develop more precise methods for measuring and potentially enhancing processing speed and attention control, which could have significant implications for individuals with cognitive impairments or attention-related disorders.

Introduction
I conduct interdisciplinary research integrating psychology, neuroscience, and psychiatry to examine developmental psychopathology and developmental neuroscience. My research specializes in elucidating how disruptions in neurodevelopmental processes engender psychopathology risk. Guided by the neurodevelopmental model, I investigate aberrant neurodevelopmental trajectories from childhood through adolescence that confer vulnerability for disorders like psychosis and schizophrenia. My overarching goal is to elucidate the complex interplay between neurobiology, environment, and behavior shaping mental health across development. Furthermore, I aim to identify predictive biomarkers and profiles to develop personalized interventions to promote resilience and well-being. To achieve these goals, I use a variety of methods, including network science, bioinformatics, machine learning, digital phenotyping and neuroimaging techniques.
My key areas of interests include delineating the effects of early life adversity, daily stressors, socioeconomic adversity, and toxic environmental exposures on brain maturation. Looking ahead, I am also interested harnessing technological advances to optimize assessment and intervention approaches. For example, mobile health applications will enable real-time monitoring of behaviors and experiences related to mental health. Additionally, I plan to develop and test game-based interventions targeting cognitive and socioemotional processes implicated in psychopathology.
