Dr. Kuo received his Occupational Therapy degree from the University of Manitoba. He practiced as a clinician in the rehabilitation field in Canada and U.S.A. for 5 years before pursuing a PhD degree from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Dr. Kuo has taught in the same university and the Vocational Training Council. In 2014, He joined the Tung Wah College. Dr. Kuo’s main research focuses on understanding cognitive processes in normal and clinical populations using event-related potentials technique. Through a better understanding of the cognitive processes, it is hoped that this line of research would help to uncover the neural mechanisms of recovery due to clinical interventions.
