Associate Professor / Associate Head (Teaching)
Dr. Chang was born and raised in Taiwan. She received her BSc degree from National Taiwan University in 1999 and PhD from University of California at Berkeley in 2008. After two-year postdoc training at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, she joined HKU in 2010. Dr. Chang is a geologist specializing in geochronology. Her research mainly uses 40Ar/39Ar and U/Pb methods to constrain the time scale of biological evolution, mass extinction events and global climate change.
