Short Biography
A/Prof. Hoang Dinh received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2016. He is currently an associate professor at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia. Over the last ten years, he has significantly contributed to advanced wireless communications and networking systems. His excellent record evidences this with one patent filed by Apple Inc., five books, eight book chapters, more than 90 IEEE Q1 journals and 60 flagship IEEE conference papers in communications and networking. Most of his journal papers have been published in top IEEE journals, including IEEE JSAC, IEEE TWC, IEEE COMST, and IEEE TMC. Furthermore, his research papers have had a high impact, evidenced by more than 15,000 citations (according to Google Scholar) over the last ten years. Since joining UTS in 2018, he has received more than AUD 3 million in external funding and several precious awards, including the Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award for his project “Intelligent Backscatter Communications for Green and Secure IoT Networks,” IEEE TCSC Award for Excellence in Scalable Computing for Contributions on “Intelligent Mobile Edge Computing Systems” (Early Career Researcher), and IEEE TCI Rising Star Award for “Technical Contributions on the Internet.” Alternatively, he is the lead author of two authored books, “Ambient Backscatter Communication Networks,” published by Cambridge Publisher in 2020 and “Deep Reinforcement Learning for Wireless Communications and Networking,” published by IEEE-Wiley Publisher in 2022. He is currently an Editor of IEEE TMC, IEEE TWC, IEEE TCCN, IEEE TVT, and IEEE COMST.
