My name is Tuan-Minh Nguyen (Vietnamese script: Nguyễn Tuấn Minh), sometimes shortly written as Minh Nguyen (my surname, Nguyen, should be pronounced like /ŋwien/ or /ŋuen/). I am currently a research fellow in Probability Theory at School of Mathematics, Monash University, Australia.
I was born in Hue, Vietnam. Prior to coming to Australia, I finished my doctoral study under the direction of Professor Stanislav Volkov at Lund University, Sweden. Previously, I earned my undergraduate diploma at Belarusian State University.
Research Interests
Probability theory is my primary area of research. I have been working on random processes on graphs, particularly self-interacting random processes. These are stochastic models whose future behavior depends not only on their current state but also on their history and surrounding environment. Typical examples include:
random walks with reinforcement: the walker prefers returning to previously visited sites rather than exploring unfamiliar ones
random walks with repulsion: the walker prefers exploring new sites rather than returning to previously visited ones.
excited random walks: the walker's behavior depends on the number of visits to its current position.
I am also interested in random graphs, percolation theory, branching processes, random games, random matrices, queueing theory, point processes, SPDE, Malliavin calculus and related problems.

Peer Review Experience
I have been a peer reviewer for multiple probabilistic journals such as Stochastic Processes and Applications, Bernoulli, Advances in Applied Probability, Electronic Journal of Probability, Journal of Theoretical Probability.
