Dr. Ngo graduated with an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering fron Polytechnic University (HoChiMinh University of Technology), Vietnam, in 1997. He received a master's degree in Chemical Engineering in 2001. In 1997, he held a position as lecturer and researcher in the Department of Chemical and Engineering at Polytechnic University. In 2001, he joined the Department of Materials Engineering at Polytechnic University

as lecturer and researcher. He obtained his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, in 2007. From 2003 to 2007, he worked as invited researcher at Industrial Materials Institute (IMI) of National Research Council of Canada (NRC). After completing his Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) post-doctoral fellowship at NRC in 2008, he joined IMI of NRC as researcher. Dr. Ngo is currently working at InnoTech Alberta (formerly Alberta Research Council (1921-2010) and Alberta Innovates-Technology Futures (2010-2016)), a subsidiary of Alberta Innovates, as senior research scientist for Bio-Industrial Services, a position he has been appointed in late 2014. His research focuses on biomass processing and development of novel, eco-friendly applications using renewable and sustainable biomaterials including but not limited to polymers, biopolymers, composites, biocomposites, nanocomposites, films, additive manufacturing, celluloses, fibers, nanocelluloses, and lignin for industrial applications. Dr. Ngo is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. Dr. Ngo has been acting as a project manager for numerous industrial and academic projects at both the national and international levels. Dr. Ngo has authored about 100 papers published in international conference proceedings and international journals. He is an author of two books and nine scientific book chapters. He has written many proposals, business plans, and scientific reports. He is a reviewer for several international journals and scientific associations.
