Edith LEUNG

Hello I am Edith! I am a first-year BPsych student, mainly interested in child and adolescent psychology. I joined COMPASS to deepen my understanding of positive development in children and adolescents while gaining practical experience in research methodologies. Currently I am assisting with article collection and coding for a project on children’s and adolescent’s life goals and prosocial motivation. I look forward to future research opportunities.

Adrianne CHEUNG

Currently an IB Diploma student in Hong Kong, I intend to pursue psychology at the university level. I possess a strong academic interest in the fields of experimental and social psychology, and hence I joined Dr Kim’s COMPASS research lab. My primary role is to assist with literature reviews and documenting research information in her ongoing research projects, an opportunity that allows me to contribute meaningfully to research that advances understandings of student wellbeing and educational psychology. Moreover, this experience has cultivated my interest in pursuing psychology and strengthened my commitment to connecting empirical findings to practical applications.

Airene MATHEW

I am an aspiring researcher with a strong interest in psychology, particularly in human behaviour, cognition, and complex social systems. I view positive psychological interventions as a critical path forward in our current climate of global instability, utilizing compassion and empathy to transform systemic chaos into an environment where human potential can truly flourish. I joined the lab as a volunteer to gain hands-on experience in collaborative psychological research work. I currently assist with literature reviews and documentation related to positive psychological interventions.

Cadence KWOK

Hi I am Cadence, a second year undergraduate psychology student interested in research in social and clinical psychology. In particular, I am curious about how our social environment shapes developmental experiences, whether that be during classroom learning, peer interactions, or parenting. I am currently volunteering at the COMPASS Lab to gain hands-on research experience, and learn how meaningful research can shape real-life outcomes! 

Doris WANG 

I am an undergraduate student in Psychology and Language Sciences at University College London. My interests lie at the intersection of developmental and educational psychology, focusing on children and adolescents' learning processes, well-being, life goals, and experiences within educational settings. 

Through my academic studies and volunteer work with young people, I have become interested in how school curricula, social environments, and institutional structures shape youth development. I hope to contribute to research and projects that create more supportive, inclusive, and meaningful learning experiences for children and adolescents.
