Research involves: Wireless communications, Quantum communications, Quantum machine learning, Quantum optimization

Research relevance: Dr. Duong’s research will build upon Memorial’s strengths in telecommunications, and information and communication technology (ICT), which represent strategic and critical areas of research for the institution.

Global digital transformation:

Dr. Duong’s research in next-generation communication technology, such as 6G, will seamlessly integrate the digital, physical and biological worlds. It will require significant fundamental research to ensure that future wireless networks are ultra-secure and capable of serving a wide range of wireless devices at ultra-high reliability and very low latency. He plans to develop a ”wireless without limit” connectivity that can provide high quality-of-service targets for a massive number of connected devices.

Dr. Duong’s research program at Memorial will create a prompt response to sustainable digital infrastructure through the creation of sustainable next-generation communications technologies that will have a potential impact on Canada’s science, technology and innovation priority research areas including health care, smart cities, rural areas, smart agriculture and climate resilience.

Using an interdisciplinary approach, his ambitious research program will build a world-leading research and education initiative in 6G communications at Memorial University that will rival initiatives around the globe.
