Dr Chua completed her Doctoral studies under Professor Alan M. Wing at the School of Psychology, College of Life and Environmental Sciences where she studied cognitive mechanisms of movement and timing control in health persons and stroke patients.

Dr Chua currently works in the Translational Research on Heart Failure and Arrhythmia group at the Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, led by Professor Paulus Kirchhof and Dr Larissa Fabritz. Her main interest is on using statistical and computational modelling on heterogenous data to identify patterns of clinical and mechanism-based factors which contribute to incident and recurrent atrial fibrillation.
