PART 3: FORUM INTEREST

First Discipline to be Joined

Life Science and Medicine

Second Discipline to be Joined

Mathematical Sciences

Statement of Purpose to Join the Forum (max. 200 words)

I want to engage in meaningful exchanges with distinguished scientists and fellow researchers in the field of life science. As a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, my research focuses on understanding the associations between early-life risk factors and the development of mental disorders in children and adolescents. I believe that connecting with leading minds across disciplines will enrich my perspectives and inspire innovative approaches to address pressing mental health challenges.

The Forum’s emphasis on fostering dialogue and collaboration presents an excellent opportunity to share insights, learn from the experiences of laureates, and explore emerging methodologies. I am particularly interested in discussing evidence-based interventions and the application of advanced analytical techniques in public health research. Additionally, I look forward to building a diverse network of researchers dedicated to improving mental health outcomes globally.

Through active participation, I aim to contribute to the exchange of knowledge and strengthen my ability to bridge the gap between research and real-world impact. The Hong Kong Laureate Forum would be an invaluable experience in advancing both my academic growth and commitment to public mental health.

Abstract of Research / Brief Description of Your Current Research Interest (max. 200 words)

I joined University of Cambridge in 2024 Fall as a PhD student. I work on public mental health, particularly focusing on children and adolescents. My PhD project aims to examine the associations between early childhood risks and diagnosed mental disorders. Additionally, the relationships among these risk factors, as well as their interactions with other socio-demographic factors, will be explored. Based on these findings, predictive models will be developed to try to enhance the prevention and intervention strategies in public mental health.

Apart from my project, my research interest lays in Public Mental Health, Mental Health Service, Health Intervention, Children and Adolescent, and Biostatistics.
