Edward Ng (Chinese: 伍煒國) is noted for his broad variety of mathematical applications in space science and engineering. He has also been a conscientious practitioner in the spin-off outreach of the space program, with applications in such diverse subjects as Bose-Einstein functions in mathematical physics, Symbolic and algebraic computation, Computational physics and biomedical materials research. He received his M.A. and PhD degrees from Columbia University. He has been employed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory(JPL) of the California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He retired in 2006. Dr. Edward W Ng was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and is cited in the American Men and Women of Science.[1] He was the editor of "Symbolic and Algebraic Computation" [2],a Monograph published by Springer Verlag. He has published a number of journal and conference articles in various mathematical applications of space sciences and engineering (selected list in external link below). His papers have appeared in Astrophysical Journal, Mathematics of Computation, Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy [3], Journal of Computational Physics, M.I.T. Journal of Mathematics and Physics [4], ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software and Computers and Mathematics with Applications[5].Ng was born in 1939 in Hong Kong. He attended the Queen Elizabeth School, Hong Kong for secondary education, and the University of Minnesota for tertiary education.
Ng has received a number of NASA Awards, including the special NASA Certificate of Apollo-Columbia Commemoration of the Space Transportation System–65 Flight in 1994. He also was the recipient of the American Astronomical Society Team Appreciation Award on the Deep Space Network.
