Bio:
Dr. Kien Trung Truong joined Fulbright University Vietnam in August 2020. As the Chair of Engineering, he is interested in inspiring and developing future generations of engineers in Vietnam with a strong background of interdisciplinary knowledge, hands-on learning experiences, sharpened skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset. He strongly believes that these new generations of engineers can identify opportunities, solve problems and create long-lasting personal, economic, and societal values. In addition to teaching, Dr. Truong is an active research engineer who enjoys participating and interacting with industry and government through sponsored research, training, and consulting. His current research interests focus on wireless communications cellular systems with recent applications to 5G and now 6G. He was co-recipient of several best paper awards, including the 2013 EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Best Paper Award and the 2014 Journal of Communications and Networks Best Paper Award. He has been granted several United States (US) patents on the fourth generation (4G) and the fifth generation (5G) of wireless cellular networks.
Dr. Kien Trung Truong was born and raised in Hanoi. He obtained his B.S. degree in Telecommunications & Electronics Engineering from Hanoi University of Science and Technology in July 2002. He received the M.S.E. degree in May 2008 and the Ph.D. degree in May 2012, both in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a fellow alumnus of the Vietnam Education Foundation (VEF).
