Adeline Ng Ling Ying

Dr. Adeline Ng Ling Ying serves as Senior Lecturer and Associate Dean (Academic Practice) at Swinburne University of Technology's Sarawak Campus within the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science. A certified Professional Engineer with Practicing Certificate (PEPC) from Malaysia's Board of Engineers, she actively contributes to structural engineering practice through the Malaysian Cold-Formed Steel Institute (MyCSI) and Institute of Engineers Malaysia (IEM).

Her academic credentials include:

• PhD in Civil Engineering (Structures) from Oxford Brookes University, UK (2008)
• M.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (2002)
• B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (2001)

Dr. Ng's research centers on experimental structural engineering with emphasis on cold-formed steel systems. Her work investigates connection mechanics, wall plate behavior, and sustainable material applications like recycled manganese slag in concrete. This bridges theoretical analysis with practical construction challenges, particularly in lightweight structural solutions for tropical environments.

Her publication trajectory shows consistent output in structural mechanics, evolving from progressive collapse studies (2009) to specialized cold-formed steel research (2015-2019), with recent expansion into sustainable materials (2021). Conference presentations dominate her dissemination, reflecting industry-focused problem solving.

Research recognition includes:

• 2018 Best Paper Award (ICMSET Beijing) for cold-formed steel connections
• 2014 Best Conference Paper (CSE Kuala Lumpur) on screw connections
• 2011 Best Paper Award (ICEWE Pahang) for roof structure applications

Dr. Ng currently leads two active research projects totaling RM 66,500: an industry-sponsored study on built-up cold-formed steel sections (ASTEEL Sdn. Bhd.) and a university grant on cyclic loading behavior. She actively recruits postgraduate students for experimental work, leveraging her industry connections to ensure practical relevance. Her dual role as Associate Dean also drives innovations in engineering pedagogy, as evidenced by her blended learning research.
