Nguyen Van Dinh, PhD
College of Engineering and Computer Science
Affiliate Faculty
Biography
Dr. Dinh received the B.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam, in 2012, and the M.E. and Ph.D. degrees in Electronic Engineering from Soongsil University, Seoul, South Korea, in 2015 and 2018, respectively. He is currently an Affiliated Faculty Member at the College of Engineering and Computer Science, VinUniversity, Vietnam.
Prior to this role, he was a Research Associate at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), University of Luxembourg (2019–2022). He also worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at Soongsil University (2018–2019). During his doctoral studies, he was a Visiting Scholar at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia (July–August 2018), and Queen’s University Belfast, U.K. (June–July 2015 and August 2016).
Dr. Dinh has received three Best Conference Paper Awards, the IEEE Communications Letters Exemplary Editor Award (2019, 2021), the IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society Exemplary Editor Award (2021), the IEEE Transactions on Communications Exemplary Reviewer Award (2018), and the IEEE GLOBECOM Student Travel Grant Award (2017).
He has authored or co-authored around 70 papers published in international journals and conference proceedings. His research interests are in wireless communications and related areas. He currently serves as an Editor for the IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society and IEEE Communications Letters, and has been a Technical Program Committee Member for several flagship international conferences.
