Dr Chiu is a Clinical Lecturer and a Research Tutor of ClinPsyD at the University of East Anglia. His is the module lead of EVBP2, which includes child and adolescent mental health, forensic psychology, neurodevelopmental psychology, and marginalised community mental health. 

Dr Chiu completed his doctoral clinical psychology training at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience (IoPPN). He works with young people and adults who experience anxiety and trauma, using CBT and DBT. He is interested in making psychology services accessible to marginalised communities, these include asylum seekers and refugees, neurodivergent population, and individuals in contact with the criminal justice system. Prior to his doctoral training, Dr Chiu studied an MSc at University College London and Yale University, where he conducted neuroscience research on perinatal health and PTSD in combat veterans.

Dr Chiu is interested in using technology (e.g. online intervention, AI, big data, machine learning) to intervene measurable and modifiable factors (e.g. emotion regulation, growth mindset, compassion). He is particularly interested in understanding the impact of social and physical trauma on one's functioning (e.g. social functioning, academic functioning, suicidality). He focuses on youth, refugees and asylum seekers, neurodiverse individuals, and individuals who are in contact with the criminal justice system.

He is currently supervising the following DClinPsy research projects: 

1. An RCT on single-session online growth-mindset intervention for youth
2. Autistic adults' experiences of social trauma
3. Autistic adults' experiences of trauma-informed therapy for PTSD
4. Adult refugees' perspectives of resilience and early attachment elationships 
5. Therapists' conceptualisations of retraumisation
6. Association between trauam exposure and cortisol level in youth
