Hng Huey Hoon

Biography

Prof Hng is currently in the School of Materials Science & Engineering since 1999. She received her Bachelor and Master degrees in Materials Science from National University of Singapore, and Ph.D. degree from University of Cambridge. Her research interests include thermoelectric and energetic materials. She has done significant research work her research areas and published over 30 top quality international conference and journal papers. She has been invited as a referee and reviewer for a number of premier conferences and journals, including Materials Research Bulletin and Journal of Applied Physics.

Research Interest

Prof Hng's main research interest is in the understanding of processing-microstructure-property relationships of nanomaterials. The research covers a wide range of experimental analytical techniques such as electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Such techniques enable the characterization of nanometre scale phases and provide an in-depth understanding of the materials' properties. Her current research works focus on the synthesis of inorganic materials using various processing techniques. The materials of interest are thermoelectric and energetic materials including metal alloys, intermetallics and functional ceramics.
