Associate Professor Curtise K.C. Ng completed his Radiography education at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPolyU), where he later joined as a research staff member after earning his BSc (Hons) in Radiography. He obtained his PhD in Imaging Informatics in 2007. In 2008, Curtise broadened his professional horizons by joining Curtin University as a Lecturer in Medical Imaging. He went on to serve as a Senior Lecturer from 2011 to 2024 and held the position of BSc (Medical Imaging Science) Course Coordinator from mid-2015 to 2016. In recognition of his dedication to teaching and learning excellence, Curtise was awarded Senior Fellowship of the UK Higher Education Academy in 2021. From 2025, he has been appointed Associate Professor in Medical Imaging at Curtin University.

Associate Professor Curtise Ng is an active researcher whose work focuses on medical imaging innovation, radiation optimisation, and the development of advanced educational technologies for healthcare professionals.

He is Principal Investigator for Innovative Hands-on MRI Education: A Feasibility Study funded by the Royal Perth Hospital Imaging Research Grant 2024, and previously led Assisted Reality for X-ray Operators’ Continuing Professional Development under the same grant scheme in 2022. He also served as Principal Chief Investigator for the Curtin Medical School Seed Grant project Micro-CT vs Synchrotron Radiation CT for Coronary Stenosis in 2022, and contributes as Co-Investigator on the Future Health Research and Innovation Fund project AI Model for Calcium Deblooming in Coronary CTA in 2023.

His research has also received support from the Australian Synchrotron, WA Country Health Service, Canon Australia, Shimadzu Medical Systems, and Curtin University.
