Kelvin Ng

Dr Kelvin Ng is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham's School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences. His research focuses on meteorological and climatological extremes, particularly tropical cyclones and their impacts. He holds an MSci in Physics from Imperial College London and a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Hong Kong.

Key roles include contributions to projects such as INPAIS (NERC-funded collaborative research with Swiss Re and Beijing Normal University), PRE-CAX (Newton Fund-supported projects with the University of Reading), Ex-Storms (NERC-funded European windstorm predictability study), and HURACAN (UK-US consortium exploring cyclone risks). He is also involved in initiatives like the Met Office Summer Testbed 2023 and SR-Hazards (Swiss Re-funded).

Ng's research interests span tropical cyclone intensity dynamics, extreme rainfall prediction, and climate model assessment (e.g., CMIP6). He is a member of the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) and European Geosciences Union (EGU). Recent publications highlight advancements in Mei-yu front analysis, storm surge impact modeling, and causal-guided statistical approaches for extreme weather prediction.

His work bridges academic research with industry collaboration, aiming to improve parametric insurance thresholds for typhoons and enhance climate change adaptation strategies for regions like China and Europe.
