PROFILE
Dr. Ngoc has completed a doctoral
degree at Griffith University. His research
expertise consists of laboratory and fieldwork in the area of infrastructure with a specific focus on site characterisation, soft
soil engineering, ground improvement, and deep foundation design. Ngoc has more
than ten years of experience as a geotechnical engineer, academic, and
structural engineer. He has extensive experience delivering large and complex
civil infrastructure projects. In recent years, he has developed
evolutionary prediction models for the strength of soil stabilization material
using
Artificial Intelligent techniques. He is capable of learning new things
quickly and working independently.
