Philip Cheng is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Sleep Disorders and Research Center at the Henry Ford Health + Michigan State University Health Sciences in Detroit. He is also the Director of the Center for Behavioral Circadian Medicine at Henry Ford Health. He received his PhD in Clinical Psychology from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Dr. Cheng’s research interests primarily focus on sleep, circadian rhythms, and their roles in health and psychological functioning. He is funded by the National Institutes of Health to study phenotypes of shift work disorder, and to translate the science of circadian rhythms into clinically feasible and widely accessible interventions for night shift workers. Additionally, his work examines how digitally delivered therapies may be leveraged to enhance the accessibility of sleep treatments to those who are socially and economically disenfranchised.
