About me


Hello, My name is Khoa Nguyen. I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carleton University. I received M.Sc. degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Sunderland, England, in 2013 and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering under the supervision of Professor Changcheng Huang at the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University, Canada, in 2021, respectively. My main research interests include communication networks, cloud/edge computing, parked vehicle edge computing (PVEC), Internet of Vehicles (IoV), software-defined networks (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), containerization technologies, evolutionary algorithms, and AI/ML applications. I worked as an intern at BitQubic funded by NSERC conducting a research on extensible and reliable edge computing infrastructure.
