Dr Ng obtained his BSc degree in Chemistry from Imperial College London (funded by Macau Government Special Scholarship) with Departmental Prize of Organic Chemistry, and his PhD degree from The University of Hong Kong in 2017.
After graduation, he first pursued a postdoc in organic synthesis in Prof Pauline Chiu’s group (HKU and SUSTech), during which he was involved in developing new organometallic reactions. After years of research in organic synthesis, he brought his expertise to a different field of research, pursuing computational chemistry in Prof Hajime Hirao’s group (CUHK-SZ), during which he studied chemical reactions by computational methods.
He returned to HKU and joined the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy in 2023. Currently he is an assistant lecturer in the department.
