Dr. Pham Huu Dang Nhat, Assistant Professor at Cardiff University, Wales, UK, has been awarded the SIU Prize Computer Science Season 1 Bronze Prize for his groundbreaking dissertation: “Enabling Human Physiological Sensing by Leveraging Intelligent Head-Worn Wearable Systems”.
Defended at the University of Oxford in 2023, Dr. Pham Huy Dang Nhat’s dissertation focuses on developing wearable devices to capture and analyze vital physiological signals accurately.
Notably, his research demonstrated the feasibility of measuring brain waves, eye movements, and facial expressions – signals previously thought to be measurable only in complex laboratory settings.
Beyond academic significance, these devices hold immense potential for real-world applications. With the technology developed by Dr. Pham Huu Dang Nhat, we could detect and prevent drowsy driving, continuously monitor and detect epilepsy at home, or even track heart health daily with ease and accuracy.
Dr. Pham Huu Dang Nhat received the SIU Prize Computer Science Season 1 Bronze Prize
Dr. Pham Huy Dang Nhat is leading numerous influential research projects, including those funded by international organizations such as the Alan Turing Institute, the Royal Society, the UKRI, the Welsh Government, and directly from Cardiff University. With a total funding of £350,000 (~450,000 USD), these projects have strong scientific links with partners in the US, South Korea, and Vietnam.
His excellence is illustrated by his impressive publication record and prestigious nominations. Most importantly, it is his persistent spirit and tireless passion for research, so that each of his works generate practical value, capable of addressing practical aspects of human life.
| SIU Prize Computer Science Season 1 Bronze Prize: VND 400,000,000 (Four hundred million Vietnamese Dong) in cash; SIU Prize silver commemorative medal; and a tour worth up to VND 200,000,000 (Two hundred million VND).
In the inaugural season of 2023-2024, the SIU Prize Computer Science received over 100 nominations from 19 countries and territories. The outstanding works covered a wide range of fields: Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Network and Information Security, Telecommunications, IoT, Bioinformatics, etc. The nominations went through three strict rounds of evaluation by the Preliminary Council, Professional Committee and Professional Council, which consisted of leading professors, scientists, and experts in related fields from prestigious universities, research institutes, and businesses in the United States, Canada, Australia, France, and Vietnam. |
