Concise Guide to Heat Exchanger Network Design

X. W. Ng graduated with First-Class Honors from the University of Cambridge, UK, with a Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering and Bachelor of Arts in 2011 and was subsequently conferred a Master of Arts in 2014. She was ranked second in her graduating class and was the recipient of a series of college scholarships including the Samuel Taylor Marshall Memorial Scholarship, Thomas Ireland Scholarship, and British Petroleum Prize in Chemical Engineering, for top performance in consecutive years of academic examinations. She was also one of the two students from Cambridge University selected for the Cambridge-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) exchange program in Chemical Engineering, which she completed with Honors with a cumulative GPA of 4.8 (5.0). During her time at MIT, she was also a part-time tutor for junior classes in engineering and pursued other disciplines including economics, real estate development, and finance at MIT and the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. Upon graduation, she was elected by her college fellowship to the title of scholar, as a mark of her academic distinction.Since graduation, she has been keenly involved in teaching across various academic levels. Her topics of specialization range from secondary-level Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry up to tertiary-level Mathematics and Engineering subjects. Some of her recent publications include “Engineering Problems for Undergraduate Students” and “Pocket Guide to Rheology” which are practice books similarly written for students taking engineering and related STEM courses at higher education and university levels. These books aim to sharpen students’ problem-solving skills and put them in good stead for tests and examinations.
