02 Deep learning
Reading the
invisible sky.
Learning how the atmosphere moves around aircraft — from evolving wake vortices to turbulent air and changing weather.
Our focus
From prediction to decision
Wake vortex decay prediction
Clear-air turbulence forecasting
Radar weather nowcasting

03 Operations research
Better decisions.
Wider horizons.
Terrain, storms and moving air shape the paths we can fly. We connect mathematical optimisation with atmospheric uncertainty.
Our focus
Look beyond the atmosphere
Weather-aware traffic management
Wind and uncertainty modelling
Trajectory and corridor optimisation
Terrain × atmosphere × decisions

04 Space traffic
The next
dimension.
A new frontier for traffic management.
Exploring how intelligence and optimisation can support movement beyond our skies.

05 The researcher behind the work
Prof. Kam K.H. Ng
Researcher. Educator. Explorer of complex skies.
Associate Head (Teaching)
and Associate Professor
Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
I bring together air traffic management, aviation meteorology, deep learning and operations research to understand complex aviation systems and support better operational decisions.
My work spans traffic flow and trajectory optimisation, uncertainty modelling, weather prediction, aviation safety and sustainable aviation. I also explore UAS traffic management and future air mobility, from low-level wind to air corridor design.
