Professor
Dr. Ngai received his B.Sc. from University of Hong Kong, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from University of Pittsburgh. After receiving his Ph.D., he has held research and teaching positions at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Cornell University, and Georgia Institute of Technology. He joined the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Georgia Southern University in 2000. His main research areas are fractal geometry and the theory of fractal measures. Because of the underlying self-similarity, he is also interested in the theories of wavelets, self-affine tiles, fractal differential equations, and Markov chains and boundary theory on fractals.
