Short Bio

I’m a lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the School of Computing Science, the University of Glasgow, the United Kingdom. Previously, I was a Research Associate at Data Science Institute, Imperial College London, the United Kingdom from 2018-2022.

Prior to the current position, I received my Ph.D., Master, and Bachelor degrees from Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), United Kingdom Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Korea and Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam in 2018, 2012, and 2008, respectively. Regarding to industry experience, I was a Software Engineer at DASAN Networks, a leading company on Networking Products and Services in Korea from 2012 to 2015, working on the design and development of the IEEE 802.11ac MAC protocols. I was also working as a full-stack software developer at Toshiba Software in Hanoi, Vietnam from 2008 to 2009.

My research interests are including, but not limited to, Blockchain Technology, Personal Data Management, Security, Privacy and Trust, and Decentralised Systems. Research collaboration is greatly appreciated, particularly on Data Privacy & Security and Blockchain-related topics. I can be reached anytime at Nguyen.Truong University of Glasgow Email. My publication can be found at Google Scholar.
