Dr Casper Zhang holds a PhD, with academic backgrounds in psychology and public health. He is a member/fellow of several professional organisations, including the Australian Psychological Society, the American Psychological Association (Division 38: Health Psychology) and the Royal Society for Public Health.
Casper’s research revolves around urban environment, health behaviours and mental health. His primary interest lies in the complex interplay between the urban environment and individual differences, and how these shape human behaviours (e.g., active living, dietary behaviours) in relation to moods and health outcomes (e.g., quality of life, cognitive function, blood glucose levels). He is also interested in the impact of emerging technologies on health. At the School, he oversees the conduct of the international Mind, Activities and urban Places (iMAP) in Hong Kong study and liaises with overseas colleagues in Melbourne, Australia.
Casper has authored over 48 publications in peer-reviewed journals and 5 book chapters. He serves as a co-investigator on multiple externally funded research grants. In addition, Casper has been invited to edit three research topics or special issues in international peer-reviewed journals.
Casper supervises research support staff and mentors both medical and postgraduate students undertaking research projects on a range of health-related topics. He taught course modules, including public mental health, questionnaire design, data collection methodology, and introductory and advanced biostatistics, within a master’s degree in epidemiology and public health.
