Prof. Charles W.W. Ng

PROFESSOR CHARLES W.W. NG is Chair Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Director of Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He obtained his Ph. D from the University of Bristol, UK in 1992; and subsequently joined the University of Cambridge as a Research Associate before returning to Hong Kong in 1995. He was elected as an Overseas Fellow at Churchill College, Cambridge, in 2005. Professor Ng is a Charted Civil Engineer (CEng) and Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (FICE), the American Society of Civil Engineers (FASCE), the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (FHKIE) and the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences (FHKEng). He holds the title of Chang Jiang Scholar (Chair Professorship) by the Ministry of Education in China and he is an appointed Board Member of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. Currently Professor Ng is Associate Editor of the Canadian Geotechnical Journal. _He has published widely on slope instability problems, behaviour and mechanics of saturated and unsaturated soils, soil-structure interaction problems such as tunnels, piles and deep excavations. He is the main author of two reference books including “Soil-Structure Engineering of Deep Foundations, Excavations” and “Tunnels and Advanced Unsaturated Soil Mechanics and Engineering”.
