Asst Prof Ng Wei Tat, Leonard
Assistant Professor, School of Materials Science & Engineering
Leonard Ng Wei Tat is an Assistant Professor at the School of Materials Science & Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). His research now focuses on data-driven techniques for roll-to-roll printed flexible electronics, in particular photovoltaics. Specifically, his work revolves around additive manufacturing, printing, and polymer composites for a variety of sustainable applications. Additionally, his research uses machine-learning enabled inverse design to continuously improve high-throughput manufacturing.

Leonard received his PhD in Engineering from the University of Cambridge in Engineering in 2019 where he worked on developing low-cost and high-throughput printed electronics using Graphene and other 2d materials. Leonard is also an NTU International Postdoctoral Scholar, where he undertook a 2-year visiting appointment the Commonwealth Scientific International Research organisation (CSIRO). He is also a recipient of the Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Fellowship where he developed commercial applications in the renewable energy sector in the United Kingdom (UK) and Europe based on his patents.
