About
Cheuk Ng is currently Professor of Psychology at Athabasca University, Canada’s Open University. Before joining Athabasca University, she had held faculty positions in three universities in Canada.
Tall buildings and high-density living are no stranger to Cheuk Ng, as she grew up in Hong Kong. She had studied and worked in the real estate appraisal field for the Government of Hong Kong for five years when she immigrated to Canada.
Her new life experience in Canada and her work experience in real estate appraisal sparked her interests in the study of people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in relation to their everyday physical environments in cities. She obtained her M.A. and Ph.D. in psychology with a focus in environmental psychology from the University of Victoria in Canada.
Cheuk Ng’s research projects and interests have revolved around noise, crowding, and privacy in the workplace and in housing, immigrants' use of space and acculturation, retail environments and telework. She has published a number of journal articles and book chapters, and presented papers at conferences.
She is a regular peer reviewer of the Journal of Environmental Psychology and has served as reviewer for a number of journals, research grant applications, and conference presentations. She was the Section Chair and newsletter editor of the Environmental Psychology Section of the Canadian Psychological Association for several years. She is a member of a few psychology associations and the Environmental Design Research Association, an organization whose membership comprises design professionals and social scientists.
