Personal Details

Full name in Vietnamese:  Nguyễn Nguyễn Trúc Đào

Bio: Nguyen-Truc-Dao Nguyen currently holds the position of tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at San Diego State University. Before this role, Dr. Nguyen was an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and continues to maintain a significant collaboration with Professor Anthony Bloch. The completion of Dr. Nguyen’s Ph.D. degree took place at Wayne State University, under the esteemed guidance of Professor Boris Mordukhovich. Dr. Nguyen’s research interests lie in the areas of optimization, control theory, data science, numerical analysis, nonlinear and variational analysis, dynamical systems, partial differential equations, statistics, computational mathematics, and their applications. In particular, Dr. Nguyen’s current research topic involves developing the method of finite difference (discrete) approximations for optimization problems, deriving necessary optimality conditions for local optimal solutions to these problems, implementing numerical algorithms, and applying them, especially, to the calculations in machine learning, deep reinforcement learning, artificial intelligence, bilevel sweeping processes, signal processing, sensor networks, network traffic analysis, inverse problems, sparse models, imaging sciences, medicine, and their applications.

    • Some details about this program and SEAMs schools:
      • The International MSc Program at Vietnam Institute of Mathematics has been run for 15 years. The main idea of this program is to attract the best students in Vietnam. All qualified students (around 10 students) will receive financial support from the Institute of Mathematics to attend the first-year program in Vietnam and will finish the second year at universities abroad. The lectures or courses of this program will be given by active researchers of the Vietnam Institute of Mathematics and invited Professors from abroad. In this program, most of the academic courses have been taught in English and French.
      • The success and quality of this program have been reflected by the statistics that a very high rate of students has been obtained scholarships to do Ph.D. at Universities in Europe (mainly in France and Germany) and the United States.
  • 2011 – 2015:  B.Sc. in Mathematics with Honors, Summa cum laude, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Quy Nhon University, Vietnam

                         Thesis: “About the Lebesgue spaces  Lp”
