During his study, he received a number of awards, such as Arup Best Student Award, Outstanding Academic Performance Award for Research Degree Student and Best Student Paper Award by the International Conference on Smart Materials and Nanotechnology in Engineering, and won the Airbus Fly Your Ideas Challenge Competition.

For his research achievements, he has received two prestigious research awards, Australian Research Council - Discovery Early Career Research Award and The Nishino Prize. So far he has obtained research grants with a total amount of AUD$1.3 million. He has worked with industry, e.g. Australian Rail Track Corporation, CRC-ACS and Airbus Limited, and is currently holding an international patent.

Prof. Ng makes active professional influence worldwide through technical committees, conference organisation, and journal and competitive grant refereeing. Notably, he is Co-Editor-in-Chief of Engineering Structures, and Associate Editor of International Journal of Structural Health Monitoring (IJSHM).

Prof. Ng is a member of Executive Committee of Australian Network of Structural Health Monitoring (ANSHM), which is formed by more than 30 universities/government agencies with the aim at promoting structural health monitoring research in Australia and worldwide. He also organised the 4th Annual Workshop of ANSHM in 2012. He is a member of National Committee of Applied Mechanics, Engineer Australia.

I specialise in fundamental and applied research in structural health monitoring (SHM). My research interests include SHM, guided wave nondestructive evaluation, system identification, engineering reliability and risk analysis and composite materials.

I am looking for self-motivated students with an interest in pursuing PhD/MPhil degree in the areas of SHM, non-destructive evaluation, ultrasonics guided wave, vibration testing, modal identification. Students interested in applying these techniques in engineering areas are also welcome. Successful applicants will be awarded a full scholarship to cover the full tuition fee and living allowance.

For applicants from China, the China Scholarship Council (CSC) and The University of Adelaide are jointly offering postgraduate research scholarships to students from People's Republic of China to undertake a postgraduate research degree at the University of Adelaide.

Prospective candidates with strong academic background please contact me through email directly.

Academics/students, who are employed/studied at other universities, are welcome to visit and collaborate with my research group for a period between one and twelve months.
