Biography (from http://www.tdtu.edu.vn/en/tdtu-prize/dr-nguyen-thoi-trung):
Dr. Nguyen Thoi Trung is a Research Full Professor of Ton Duc Thang University, and Director of the University's Institute for Computational Science. He was born in 1976 in Vietnam. He graduated from Bach Khoa University (VNU-HCMC) in 1999 with an engineer degree in civil engineering. In 2001, he graduated from University of Science (VNU-HCMC) with a bachelor degree in mathematics and computer science, and went on to obtain a master degree in applied mathematics from the same university. He undertook his doctoral training in the mechanical engineering from National University of Singapore and graduated in 2010. Subsequently, in 2015 he graduated from University of Social Sciences and Humanities (VNU-HCMC) with a bachelor degree of philosophy. Dr. Trung is recognized as a leading expert in computational mechanics internationally. He has made important contributions and innovations in the field. His research interests include Numerical methods, Computational mechanics, Structural optimization, Reliability analysis, Artificial Intelligence and Structural health monitoring. His contributions included structural analysis, optimization, and intelligent computation have influenced the discipline. He has published over 100 papers in ISI-indexed journals. His work has been influential, with his Scopus H-index being 35 and 4176 citations. In 2014, he was promoted to Associate Professor in Mechanics by The State Council for Professor Title of Vietnam. In 2017, he was promoted to full professor (research track) of Ton Duc Thang University. Also in 2017, Dr Trung got the award “Exceptional excellence in scientific research” from Ton Duc Thang University.
