Ngai, To

To Ngai is an associate professor in Chemistry department at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). In recent years, he has mainly focused on the study of synthetic strategies for hydrogel colloidal particles, as well as their physicochemical properties, such as their behavior as dispersions and their assembly at interfaces. In particular, he has been interested in using microgel particles to stabilize emulsions and has successfully demonstrated that the soft and porous microgels give rise to special dynamic properties of interfacial layers, packing structure and emulsion stability.
