Andrew Kam-hung Ng is a Canadian physicist who is a professor emeritus in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies.
Education[edit]
Ng studied mathematics and physics at the University of Hong Kong and pursued graduate study in plasma physics at the University of Western Ontario,[1] completing his doctoral thesis, An Investigation Of Anomalous Scattering Of Laser Radiation By A Theta-pinch Plasma, in 1977.[2]
Career[edit]
Ng was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Alberta prior to joining the University of British Columbia faculty in 1980.[1] He was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1998, "[f]or original contributions to the understanding of optical probing of shock waves and two-temperature non-equilibrium shock states, and for the use of laser-driven shocks in advancing research on high density matter."[3] Upon retirement from the University of British Columbia, Ng was granted emeritus status.[4]
