Bio

Chuong Nguyen is currently an experimental scientist at CSIRO DATA 61, a research affiliate of the Australian Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision, and an visiting fellow at the Research School of Engineering of the Australian National University. He is a member of Quantitative Imaging team and Immersive Environment Lab at Black Mountain, Canberra city. He is working on the cross section of augmented reality, machine learning, computer vision and robotics.

Chuong obtained a Bachelor in Aeronautical Engineering from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (Saigon) in 2001, a Master in Eco-Environmental Civil Engineering from Ritsumeikan University (Kyoto) in 2003, and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Monash University (Melbourne) in 2010.

Between 2010 and 2011, Chuong worked briefly for CRC Centre of Synchrotron Science at Monash University and made significant contributions to the development of a gamma-ray camera system. From 2011 to 2014, he worked as a postdoc at CSIRO Computational Informatics on 3D reconstruction of plants an insects for phenotyping and digital collection. In 2012, he visited Microsoft Research UK to work on Kinect sensor. Between 2014 and 2015, Chuong worked briefly for Research School of Biology of Australian National University and High Resolution Plant Phenomics Centre. From 2015 to 2017, he was a research fellow at Australian Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision.

His research interests include:

  • Augmented/Mixed Reality
  • Computer vision
  • Machine learning
  • Robotics
  • Polarization imaging
  • Hyper spectral imaging
  • Microscopic imaging
  • Particle image velocimetry
  • Fluid mechanics
