Professor Kee Woei Ng was a recipient of the A*STAR Graduate Scholarship in Singapore. He holds a BEng and MEng in Mechanical Engineering, and a PhD in Medicine. In 2010, he began his tenure-track Assistant Professor position at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, NTU, and achieved full professorship with tenure in 2021. Professor Ng’s research interests are highly interdisciplinary. In the area of sustainable nanotechnology, he is interested in understanding the implications of exposure to engineered nanomaterials in various scenarios. Through understanding of nanomaterial behaviour, transformation and interaction with biological systems, his group targets to develop nanotechnologies that are safe to use for both humans and the environment. In the area of biomaterials development, he is recognized for developing novel keratin-based platforms for various applications, including tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. His group has now developed the expertise to extract and process human hair keratins into various 2D and 3D templates including coatings, gels, sponges and electrospun mats. These are being explored for a range of biomedical applications such as skin regeneration, tendon repair, cell delivery and bio-inks for 3D printing. In recent years, functional keratin templates have also been developed for environmental and bioplastics applications. Professor Ng is currently the Associate Chair (Research) at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at NTU, Singapore. He holds a concurrent position as the Deputy Director of the Environmental Chemistry & Materials Centre, Nanyang Environment and Water Research Institute (ECMC-NEWRI). In addition, Professor Ng also serves as a member of the Technical Committee on Nanotechnology within the Chemical Standards Committee commissioned by Enterprise Singapore. He is also a Subject Expert in Nanotechnology, in the SingHealth Institutional Biosafety Committee. Between 2016 and 2022, Professor Ng was the Co-Director of the NTU-Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Initiative for Sustainable Nanotechnology.
