Congratulations to Yuyao Cheng on passing her PhD viva! Her thesis investigates the role of early-life factors in the development of eating disorders, using longitudinal data to examine underlying developmental pathways and identify potential targets for early prevention.

Her research interests centre on how individual and environmental factors influence cognitive ability and academic achievement, and on how these insights can be used to promote educational equality.

Before her doctorate, which focused on educational psychology, she obtained a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Psychology: Learning Sciences from the University of Munich, as well as an MSc in Psychological Research Methods with Advanced Statistics from the University of Sheffield.
