Prof. Huan X. Nguyen received the B.Sc. degree from the Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam, in 2000, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of New South Wales, Australia, in 2007. He is currently a Professor of Digital Communications Engineering at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Middlesex University London (U.K.). He is the Director of the London Digital Twin Research Centre (https://dt.mdx.ac.uk) and Head of the 5G & IoT Research Group (http://5g-iot.mdx.ac.uk/). He leads research activities in 5G systems, machine-type communication, digital transformation and machine learning within his university with focus on applications in digital twins, industry 4.0, and critical applications (disasters, smart manufacturing, intelligent transportation, e-health). He has been managing many council/industry funded projects, including the four current/recent research grants on: i) digital twin modelling for automation, maintenance and monitoring in Industry 4.0 smart factory; ii) digital twin for structural health monitoring of lifeline infrastructures (bridges, ports, roads and/or dams); iii) disaster management & safety warning system where machine learning and latest 5G mobile technologies are employed to facilitate a smart location database to assist recovery in the events of (human/natural) disasters such as disease epidemic, flood, and earthquakes with case study being in Turkey; and iii) public safety and monitoring for transportation with case study/beneficiaries from Vietnam. Prof. Nguyen has published more than 110 peer-reviewed research papers, mainly in the IEEE journals and conferences. He has served as chairs for many international conferences (PIMRC’20, ICT’20, ICT’19, FoNeS-IoT’20, IWNPD’17, ATC’15) and currently serves as an Editor for the KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Systems. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE. (Further Details)
