Professor, Department of Chemistry, The Chinese University of Hong KongĬhairman, Department of Chemistry, The Chinese University of Hong KongĪssociate Professor, Department of Chemistry, The Chinese University of Hong KongĪssistant Head, Department of Chemistry, National University of SingaporeĪssociate Professor, Department of Chemistry, National University of SingaporeĪssistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore Her work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases and Obesity and American Journal of Health Behavior.B.Sc. Previously, Yu studied psychosocial and behavioral factors that contribute to weight loss among Chinese patients who have undergone sleeve gastrectomy. She also has examined the overlapping between disordered eating behaviors and smoking, alcohol misuse and illicit drug use among bariatric patients.

Through examining the physiological and psychosocial mechanisms underlying disordered eating behaviors, more tailored interventions can be developed to improve post-surgical weight loss outcome. Her current research focuses on the disordered eating behaviors such as loss of control eating and binge eating in patients with severe obesity who are seeking or have undergone bariatric surgery. Yang Yu obtained her PhD and MPH from the University of Pittsburgh where she received substantial training on weight management and behavior change theories and practices.
