Professor - Computer Science
Biography
Dr. Nguyen Xuan Hung (H. Nguyen-Xuan) received the B.S. degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Science – VNUHCM in 2000 and the M.E. and Ph.D. degrees in Computational Engineering from the University of Liège (Belgium) in 2003 and 2008, respectively. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the Center for AI Research and the College of Engineering and Computer Science, VinUniversity, Vietnam. Prior to this position, he served as Director of the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research and Technology (CIRTech) at HUTECH University (July 2015-December 2025).
He has served as PI and Co-PI on several international projects (Vlirous-Belgium, Horizon 2020-EU, Humboldt Foundation-Germany) and on several national and industrial projects. Dr. Nguyen-Xuan has authored two patents and a trademark registration certificate in HorizonTek and has authored or co-authored more than 300 peer-reviewed papers indexed in WoS. He has served as a reviewer for top-tier international journals in computational engineering and computer science and has also chaired numerous prestigious international conferences in related fields.
He serves as an editorial board member of Composite Structures, Journal of Micromechanics and Molecular Physics, Underground Space, Computers & Structures, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, and International Journal of Computational Methods. He is Editor of Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Associate Editor: International Journal of Hydromechatronics, and Editor-in-Chief of Materials and Emerging Technologies for Sustainability.
