TRAN NGUYEN NGOC

PROFILE AND CONTACT INFORMATION


TRAN Nguyen Ngoc is a lecturer of Information Technology at the Department of Data Communication and Computer Networks, School of Information and Communication Technology (SoICT), Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST). He received the PhD, specialising in remote sensing, from university of Technology Sydney in 2019. From 9/2018 to 8/2020, he worked as a PostDoc fellow under the Ecosystem Dynamics Health and Resilience research program within the Faculty of Science, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. From 9/2020, he has continued to work as a visiting scholar at UTS under the supervision of Distinguished Professor Alfredo Huete.

His research activities are focused on remote sensing and image processing, including tropical forest dynamics, novel geostationary applications, drone-based biomass estimation, and other related areas.
