Nguyen Van Dinh, PhD
College of Engineering and Computer Science
Assistant Professor, Electrical Engineering program
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 Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the College of Engineering and Computer Science, VinUniversity, Vietnam. Prior to this position, he was a Research Associate with the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), University of Luxembourg (2019-2022), a Postdoc Researcher and a Lecturer with Soongsil University (2018-2019), a Postdoctoral Visiting Scholar with the University of Technology Sydney, AUS (July-August 2018) and a Ph.D. Visiting Scholar with Queen’s University Belfast, U.K. (June-July 2015 and August 2016). Dr. Dinh received the three best conference paper awards, IEEE Communications Letters Exemplary Editor Awards 2019 and 2021, IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society Exemplary Editor Award 2021, IEEE Transaction on Communications Exemplary Reviewer Award 2018 and IEEE GLOBECOM Student Travel Grant Award 2017. He has authored or co-authored some 70 papers published in international journals and conference proceedings. He has served as a reviewer for many top-tier international journals on wireless communications, and has also been a Technical Programme Committee Member for several flag-ship international conferences in the related fields. He is an Editor for the IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society and IEEE Communications Letters.
