Rate My Professor Duy Ngo

Associate Professor Duy Ngo holds a position in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computing at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He obtained his Bachelor of Engineering in Telecommunication Engineering with First-class Honours and University Medal from the University of New South Wales in 2007, Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (Communications) from the University of Alberta in 2009, and PhD in Electrical Engineering from McGill University in 2013. After completing his doctorate, he was awarded NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship and FQRNT Postdoctoral Fellowship by the Government of Canada and Government of Quebec, respectively, from 2013 to 2014. He joined the University of Newcastle in July 2013 as Lecturer in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, progressing to Associate Professor. Additional appointments include Visiting Research Professor at the Research Center for Wireless Energy Harvesting Communications, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea in October 2015, and Visiting Professor at the University of Alberta, Canada in October 2014.

Duy Ngo's research focuses on design and optimisation for wireless communications networks, including 5G/6G wireless networks with cell-free massive MIMO, wireless federated learning, LEO satellite communications, mobile edge computing, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications for intelligent transportation systems. His interests encompass broadband wireless communications, interference management, radio resource allocation, optimisation theory, small-cell 5G networks, wireless energy harvesting, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), vehicular networks, and multi-hop transmission protocols for road safety. He co-authored the book Architectures of Small-Cell Networks and Interference Management (2014) and contributed chapters such as 'A LTE-Direct Based Communication System for Safety Services in Vehicular Networks' (2020) and 'Vehicle Communications for Infotainment Applications' (2020). Notable journal publications include 'Multi-Agent Task Assignment in Vehicular Edge Computing: A Regret-Matching Learning-Based Approach' (2024), 'Energy-Efficient Massive MIMO for Federated Learning: Transmission Designs and Resource Allocations' (2022), 'Cell-Free Massive MIMO for Wireless Federated Learning' (2020), and 'Joint Load Balancing and Interference Management for Small-Cell Heterogeneous Networks With Limited Backhaul Capacity' (2017). With 2,755 citations on ResearchGate, his contributions have advanced wireless network technologies. He has supervised five PhD completions and secured grants from ARC, NSERC, university sources, and international collaborators. Awards include Pro Vice-Chancellor's Award for Global Engagement Excellence (2024), Vice-Chancellor's Award for Research and Innovation Excellence (2015), Pro Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence (2017), Best Poster Award at AMSI Optimise Conference (2018), and University Medal (2007).
