Trevor Chong is an Associate Professor in Cognitive Neuroscience at Monash University, leading the Cognitive Neurology Laboratory at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health. He is a neurologist and cognitive neuroscientist with clinical appointments at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne and Alfred Health. Chong holds an ARC Future Fellowship and an NHMRC Neil Hamilton Fairley Early Career Fellowship. His research bridges basic cognitive neuroscience and clinical neurology, focusing on decision-making, learning, and memory in neurological diseases.
Education: BMedSc (Hons) and MBBS (Hons) from Monash University (2002), PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Melbourne (2007). Clinical training included neurology residencies at St Vincent's and Alfred Hospitals, culminating in FRACP certification (2013). He conducted postdoctoral research at Oxford with Masud Husain before establishing his lab at Monash.
Key research areas include neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive impairments in neurological disorders, leveraging methodologies like EEG, fMRI, and computational modeling. Current projects address curiosity neurobiology, decision-making pharmacology, and statin impacts on cognition. He supervises students in psychology, biomedical science, and honors programs.
Notable awards: NHMRC Fellowship (2013), ARC Future Fellow. External roles include Board Director of the Cure for MND Foundation and senior staff specialist roles at major hospitals. His work contributes to UN SDGs related to health and well-being.
