Biography

Dr. Hung Xuan Nguyen (H. Nguyen-Xuan) is the Director of CIRTech Institute, HUTECH University (Vietnam), an adjunct professor of China Medical University (Taiwan) & Sejong University (South Korea). He is also the President of Vietnam Association for Computational Mechanics. He serves as editorial board member of Composite Structures, Underground Space, Computers & Structures, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, Biomedicine, Computers, Materials & Continua, and editor of Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences.
Dr. Nguyen-Xuan received his Ph.D. in Computational Mechanics from The University of Liège (Belgium) in 2008. His researches focus on computational science and engineering (CSE) for advanced development of robust computational methods with high performance computing in combination with material and structural modeling, machine learning, 3D printing and recently hydrogen energy.
Dr. Nguyen-Xuan has carried out significant research collaboration with leading research institutions and universities around the world such as National University of Singapore (NUS), Bauhaus-University Weimar (Germany), the University of Cincinnati (USA), Cardiff University (UK) and Ghent University (Belgium), the University of Melbourne (Australia). The national and international cooperation in research has been providing Dr. Nguyen-Xuan widespread recognition in the field of computational mechanics. He has published more than 260 peer-reviewed papers. These papers remarkable made him well-known as a Highly Cited Researcher (rank in the top 1% by citations) in nine continuous years from 2014 to 2022 in the category of Computer Science and Cross-Field.
Dr. Nguyen-Xuan was the winner of Georg Forster Research award – Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2016), Alexander von Humboldt Renewed Research Stay award (2019), the Outstanding Humboldtian awards (2019), Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Digital Cooperation Fellowship (2021), Vietnam National University HCMC researchers award in six continuous years from 2008 to 2013, and Nguyen Van Dao award - Association of Mechanics of Vietnam in 2011.
