Lisa Ng (Fed)
Supervisory Mechanical Engineer/Group Leader
Dr. Lisa Ng is the Supervisory Mechanical Engineer/Group Leader of the Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Group in the Engineering Laboratory (EL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). She graduated from the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering at Drexel University with her Bachelor's and Ph. D., with a two-year stint in a Taiwan architectural firm in-between. After her Ph. D., she completed a one-year post-doc at NIST. Her work is focused on airflow and indoor air quality performance in buildings, with a focus on low energy buildings as well as energy efficiency design and operation strategies in general. She is active in the development of strategies for incorporating more accurate infiltration estimates in building energy models and the application of multizone airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ) models to a range of building performance issues. She is also active in mentoring students through several programs at NIST.
