Khanh-Van Nguyen is an Associate Professor at the School of Information and Communication Technologies (SoICT) of Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), where he leads the Software Engineering and Distributed Computing Lab (SEDIC Lab). He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of California, Davis (2006) and also spent one post-doctoral year (2007-08) as a CNRS researcher at University Paris 7 & 11. Earlier, he received the BE degree from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), Vietnam in 1992, and the MS degree from University of Wollongong, Australia in 2000. His main research interests are in algorithms and theoretical models for computer networks and distributed computing, and in information security. Dr. Nguyen has published over 40 research papers in international and Vietnamese journals and conference proceedings.
