Ha-Duong Ngo

Ha Duong Ngo is a researcher in electrical and microsystems engineering. His work focuses on surface-micromachined actuators for micro-optical applications, as well as silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and silicon carbide (SiC) devices designed for operation in extreme environments, including high temperatures, corrosive conditions, and biosensing applications.

Education Ha Duong Ngo studied Electrical Engineering in Vietnam, Electrical Enigeering in Ukraine (UdSSR) and Microsystem technologies in Germany. He received a PhD from Technische Universität Berlin in 2006, with research focused on micro opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS), a subset of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) used for sensing and manipulating optical signals.

By 2006, Ha Duong Ngo joined the Electrical Faculty and Research Center for Microperipheric Technologies. He also served as head of the Microsensors and Actuator Technology Center at the same institution.

He is currently a professor at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin and is involved in microsensor research at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM.

Research and career Ngo’s research is in the field of microsystems engineering and sensor technology, including work on piezoresistive sensors, gas sensors, and devices based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and silicon carbide (SiC). His research work has contributed to the development of fast micro-mirrors for telescommunications and AeroMEMS sensors.

Editorship Ngo has authored research publications and is listed as an inventor on patents. He has been associated with editorial roles for journals published by MDPI (Microsensors, Micromachines) Journals, and has served as an associate editor at IEEE Sensors Letters Journal, at Springer Nature Journal on Microsystem Technologies, and at Journal on Smart Sensing and Intelligent Systems.

He has also been affiliated with AAAS and German Society for Material Research.
