Biography

Dr. Tang Mei Kuen Florence (鄧美娟) obtained her doctoral degree in Anatomy at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and she has been working at CUHK for more than 20 years. She is a registered veterinary surgeon in Hong Kong, serving as a board member at various professional veterinary associations.

Her teaching interests focus on Anatomy, and research technique in biomedical studies. She has a passion in Anatomy teaching and courseware development using emerging technologies, including mobile application development, mixed-reality, and 3D printing. Her team developed several innovative VR/AR courseware to facilitate student teaching and learning process. She also actively promotes STEM education at both high-school and university level. Her work has been showcased at several regional and international medical and nursing education workshops and conferences. She awarded the Faculty Teaching Award in 2014.
