Biography
Po-Chang Tseng is a PhD student at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London. Po-Chang is a child and adolescent psychiatrist who completed specialised clinical training at the National Taiwan University Hospital.
As a recipient of the Chevening Scholarship, Po-Chang obtained an MSc in Global Mental Health from King's College London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. His academic credentials also include an MD from Kaohsiung Medical University and a DTM&H from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
Po-Chang integrates research and clinical practice to promote the well-being of disadvantaged persons. His field experience includes humanitarian efforts for displaced people along the Thailand-Burma border, as well as healthcare outreach for resource-limited communities in Burkina Faso.
His current study adopts an interdisciplinary approach across mental health, bioethics, and law to examine mental capacity in minors. The investigation employs a mixed-methods design, utilising natural language processing techniques to analyse legal documents, clinical records, and interview data. At its heart, the research explores how freedom is expressed through language.
In addition, Po-Chang is interested in exploring forms of advocacy through art and creative writing to address stigma and discrimination while advancing the rights of marginalised populations.
