Angel Chen

I am a  DPhil candidate within the Oxford Psychological Interventions for Children and adolescent Research Group (TOPIC) Research Group at the University of Oxford, specialising in the study of anxiety problems in autistic children and young people. My research focuses on improving understanding and the evidence base of assessments and treatments of anxiety problems for this population.

Through a diverse methodological approach, I employ qualitative and quantitative studies, systematic reviews, and innovative tools like large language models to explore current assessments and treatments for anxiety in autistic chilren and young people. My work also delves into identifying the barriers and facilitators that influence the delivery of effective assessments and interventions.

By bridging research with real-world application, I aim to enhance the accessibility and impact of psychological support for autistic children and adolescents. I am committed to fostering public engagement and collaboration to ensure that my research addresses practical challenges and drives meaningful change in clinical research and practice.
