Dr Claudia Chu attended Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge and graduated with a BA in Psychology, and subsequently a MPhil and PhD in Psychology and Education.

Dr Chu has always been passionate about education. Early on, as part of her undergraduate studies, she took interest in various cultures’ use of literacy assessments. She then went on to develop a thesis on the interplay between learning capabilities and linguistic backgrounds during her MPhil and PhD years, before further honing her expertise in the field in post-doctoral positions at University of Cambridge.

Over the years she has had invaluable opportunities to directly work with University of Cambridge academics and a wide range of students. For two and three consecutive years respectively, Dr Chu was an assessor and interviewer for undergraduate admissions at University of Cambridge and supervised students in Psychology and Education.

Dr Chu’s other work involved collaborations with Cambridge Enterprise, the innovation and consultancy arm of the University of Cambridge, which seeks to share the University’s expertise and know-how with industries and public institutions as academic and scientific advisors. She has also published and given talks on educational topics such as the Theory of Mind and academic assessment structures.

Dr Chu currently holds a Research Consultant position at University of Cambridge (Faculty of Education), advising on interprofessional education, and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at University of Hong Kong (Department of Psychiatry), researching on youth mental health and early intervention.
