Chi-Ho Ng

Dr Chi-Ho Ng is a Research Fellow at the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering, The University of Queensland. His research focuses on advanced materials processing, particularly in additive manufacturing and surface treatments of titanium alloys.

• Bachelor (Honours) in Production Technology, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
• Masters in Manufacturing Technology, Cranfield University
• PhD in Materials Engineering, The University of Queensland

His research interests include:

• Additive manufacturing techniques (wire arc, laser powder bed fusion)
• Hot isostatic pressing for defect elimination and microstructure control
• Laser-based surface modification (nitriding, alloying)
• Biomedical applications of titanium alloys and coatings
• Use of machine learning for porosity analysis in 3D-printed materials

Recent publications highlight his work on β-fleck defect characterization, cryogenic coolant applications, and machine learning-assisted porosity analysis in titanium alloys. He actively supervises projects related to piezoelectric materials for biomedical applications and has received funding from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation for process optimization research.
