Bio

Eddie received his B.S.Sc. in Psychology from CUHK in 2009. Envisioning a just society, free of prejudice and discrimination, Eddie joined the lab in 2007 and finished his undergraduate thesis on same-sex intimate partner violence (SSIPV) under Dr. Mak’s supervision. The study attempted to estimate the prevalence rates and risk and protective factors of SSIPV in Hong Kong. Help-seeking intentions and psychological well-being of potential victims were also explored. 

Upon graduation, he worked as a research assistant at the lab for Dr. Mak’s funded project on understanding the physical health needs among people with mental illness in the Hong Kong community.
