Ngo's research centers on Pacific World historiography, with emphasis on Chinese maritime frontiers, Qing imperial sovereignty, colonial/postcolonial Vietnam, and U.S. foreign policy. His work critically examines borderlands governance, refugee crises, and displacement through interdisciplinary frameworks connecting historical sovereignty to contemporary human rights regimes.
His publication "Solace and Solidarity in Exile" (Journal of Asian Studies, 2024) exemplifies this approach by synthesizing New Qing History with modern displacement experiences in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Hong Kong, revealing transnational patterns of refugee solidarity and state power.
