BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Hoang Nguyen received his Bachelor of Engineering degree from Da Nang University of Science and Technology, Viet Nam. He was awarded a prestigious Australia Awards Scholarship from the Australian Government to obtain a Master of Philosophy degree at the Curtin University of Technology, Australia. Afterward, he was awarded another scholarship from Australian Research Council linked with Ecotechnol Pty. Ltd., Perth, Australia to perform an industrial project of syngas production from methane reforming under microwave heating and microwave plasma for his Ph.D study. He worked as a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Curtin University of Technology from 2019 to 2020. His research interests include catalyst development, plasma-assisted chemical reactions, non-contact heating, and chemical reaction kinetic modeling. From 2010, he has been working as a Lecturer at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Da Nang University of Science and Technology, Viet Nam. He has 14 publications with 180 citations and 1 provisional patent. He has also secured several research grants worth $30k in total.
