He obtained his PhD in Information & Communication Systems from Huazhong University of Science & Technology, China, in 2010.
Assoc.Prof. Dr Ha Dac Binh
Assoc.Prof. Dr Binh’s main research in the last ten years was in key technology for next-generation wireless networks (5G and post-5G), such as multihop routing, MIMO, physical-layer security, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), radio frequency energy harvesting networks, and mobile edge computing networks.
Assoc.Prof. Dr Binh set down many achievements in lecturing and scientific research:
? He co-advised one PhD student and advised 31 Master’s students to successful thesis defenses.
? He led and completed four science research projects with university funding and two with national funding (from Nafosted) and worked as main member for two science research projects with national funding and one with university funding.

Furthermore, I am supported by my family and colleagues; DTU created the highly intellectual work environment allowing me reach today’s honor.”
For the future, he says he will work on graduate and postgraduate training, strengthen domestic and international collaboration, and create a quantum communications research group at DTU to work on spearhead research, to help lift Vietnam to the global level.
Assoc.Prof. Dr Tran Xuan Hiep
Assoc.Prof. Dr Tran Xuan Hiep is executive director of the DTU Journal of Science & Technology.
The Ha Tinh Newspaper issue of March 15, 2022, noted that, among the 15 candidates from Ha Tinh to be awarded professorships in 2021, Assoc.Prof. Dr Tran Xuan Hiep is the youngest at 38. He also defended his PhD before 30 and received a prize from Hue University.

To date, Assoc.Prof. Dr Hiep worked on several scientific research projects with publications in prestigious journals:
? He worked as main member on two projects with national funding and three with institutional funding; he chaired or attended many scientific conferences, joined projects to start new majors, appraised training programs, and personally advised many PhD, Master, and Bachelor students.
? He published eight monographs, reference books, and textbooks.
? Of note is that he published over a hundred specialized international papers, including eleven he was main author or coauthor of in ISI or Scopus indexed journals.
To obtain today’s achievement and honor, Assoc.Prof. Dr Hiep strove to overcome all his difficulties. “On the journey of studying and scientific research, you’ll go through many difficulties, challenges, and even failures, and you should do all you can,” Assoc.Prof. Dr Hiep explains. “Anyone can be successful provided you’re able to learn humbly, work hard, and especially have faith. If you dare to risk yourself and have aspiration and faith, you can do what you’re dreaming of.
