Wing Ng, the Christopher C. Kraft Endowed Pro-
fessor of mechanical engineering in the College of
Engineering, has been named an Alumni Distinguished
Professor by the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors.
The professorship is a pre-eminent appointment,
recognizing remarkable scholarship and service, as well
as extraordinary teaching that has influenced the lives of
generations of students.
The Board of Visitors appoints Alumni Distinguished

university.
“I congratulate Dr. Ng for his outstanding service to
Virginia Tech as an exemplary educator and researcher,”
said Cyril Clarke, Virginia Tech executive vice president
and provost. “Both a pioneer in his field of research
and an entrepreneur, Dr. Ng has enriched the students
whom he has taught and advised.”
