Biographical Sketch

Born and brought up in TuyHoa, VietNam, currently I am a senior research scientist at Distributed Systems Group, Institute of Information Systems, Vienna University of Technology. From March 2005 to February 2007, I was a postdoctoral research scientist at Distributed and Parallel Systems Group, University of Innsbruck. From Nov 2000 to February 2005, I was a researcher at Software Science Group, Institute for Scientific Computing, University of Vienna. Before that, I worked as an assistant lecturer and a researcher in Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering, HCMC University of Technology, Vietnam from 1998 to 2000.

Member of ACM, IEEE and IEEE Computer Society. I also spend a bit of spare time to support the IEEE Vietnam Section. Join our effort if you are Vietnamese IEEE member.

As a Reviewer, PC member, Session/Workshop/Conference Organizer, Chair, Editor

• Full list
• Current PC member: The 10th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2010), The 3rd Workshop on Non-Functional Properties and SLA Management in Service-Oriented Computing (NFPSLAM-SOC'09), The 2nd Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems (ACIIDS 2010), The First International Conference on Adaptive and Self-adaptive Systems and Applications (ADAPTIVE09)

My research interests are various fields pertained to distributed and parallel systems with an applied, systems-oriented focus. My main research interest focuses on obtaining an understanding of the behaviour and quality of distributed and parallel applications and systems through monitoring and analysis. My research has been applied to:

Performance Analysis Techniques and Tools for Distributed and Parallel Systems, Parallel Processing and Grid Computing, Internet Technologies and Web Services, Workflows and Collaborative Computing, Autonomic Computing and Context-Awareness. Furthermore, i am interested in (free) ICT solutions for (under) developing countries.
