Biography

Dr. Denny Ng is an Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. Before joining the university, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Chemical Engineering Department of Texas A&M University, United State. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Nottingham, Malaysia and was the first student who completed a PhD program within two years in the department. His areas of specialisation include energy management, resource conservation via process integration techniques (pinch analysis and mathematical optimisation), synthesis and analysis of biomass processing and integrated bio refineries, as well as energy planning for greenhouse gas emission reduction. He has published more than 40 journal papers and made more than 70 presentations in various international and national conferences. Dr Ng is also serving as international scientific committee for several international conferences. Besides, he also serves as reviewer for more than 20 peer review journals. He establishes collaboration with well-known international researchers from the United State, the Philippines, Taiwan, etc. throughout his career. He was the recipient of World Federation of Scientists (Malaysia National Scholarship) award in 2007. Recently, Dr Ng won the IChemE Young Chemical Engineer of the Year 2012 Award. Apart from focusing on research and development (R&D), Dr. Ng also applied his R&D output in industrial consultation projects, both on resource conservation and integrated bio refinery.
