Dr Chng Tat Loon joins us as an assistant professor in January 2022 from the Laboratory of Plasma Physics at Ecole Polytechnique, France, where he was a postdoctoral associate. He received both his B.Eng and M.Eng degrees from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS), before obtaining his Ph.D from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University, USA. Before pursuing his Ph.D, Dr. Chng worked for several years as an associate research scientist at Temasek Laboratories, NUS, on a range of fluid mechanics problems, with the goal of transitioning these technologies to the defense industry. His research interests include non-equilibrium plasma technologies, development of advanced laser-based diagnostics for non-intrusive, standoff detection, and flow control aerodynamics, with specific application areas in aerospace and sustainable energy.
