Associate Professor, School of Biomedical Sciences, Chinese University of Hong Kong
A neuroscientist and biomedical engineer,
Vincent Cheung is Associate Professor at the School of Biomedical
Sciences of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He obtained his B. Sc.
in Mathematics and Pharmacology and Therapeutics from the University of
British Columbia, Ph. D. in Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering from MIT
and Harvard Medical School, and postdoctoral training from the MIT McGovern
Institute for Brain Research. Cheung’s research focuses on understanding
how the central nervous system controls voluntary movement and translating this
knowledge into new neuro-rehabilitation strategies. His research has been
supported by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council and other sponsors. His
articles have appeared in Nature Communications, PNAS, Journal of
Neurophysiology, and multiple IEEE journals. He was invited to speak
at professional conferences, events for the general audience (e.g., TEDxCUHK),
and local radio programmes. Cheung was Chair of the Hong Kong-Macau
Chapter of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (2018-19). As a recipient of the MIT Angus MacDonald Teaching Award (2006) and Teachers of the
Years Award of CUHK Medicine (2021, 2022), Cheung has directed courses in
neuroscience, human anatomy and physiology.
