Dr. Ting Cheung completed her PhD research exploring "barriers and facilitators to accessing retinal imaging and image processing techniques for enhancing OCT interpretation in outer retinal disease," supervised by Dr. Lisa Nivison-Smith and Dr. Angelica Ly.

Her research focuses on improving diagnostic capabilities in eye care through advanced imaging technologies. She specializes in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) interpretation for outer retinal diseases and investigates barriers to accessing retinal imaging technologies. Her work bridges clinical practice with technological innovation to enhance patient outcomes in ophthalmology.

With 9 journal articles, 2 conference papers, and 6 conference abstracts, Dr. Ting Cheung maintains an active research profile documented through her ORCID (0000-0003-4422-9037). Her publications demonstrate consistent contributions to advancing diagnostic techniques in optometry and improving accessibility of retinal imaging technologies.

• Scientific Contributions: Development of image processing techniques for OCT interpretation
• Clinical Focus: Outer retinal disease diagnostics
• Technology Integration: Bridging imaging technology with clinical practice

Dr. Ting Cheung has significant teaching experience, having instructed multiple undergraduate and postgraduate courses within the Faculty of Medicine and Health. In 2024, she convened the Graduate Certificate in Ocular Therapeutics course. She emphasizes practical clinical skill development and connecting theoretical knowledge to real-world applications, helping students build confidence in clinical settings.
