Since July 2021, Giang T. Nguyen has been an Assistant Professor, heading the Junior Professorship of Haptic Communication Systems at TU Dresden. His research focuses on networked systems’ low latency, flexibility, and resilience to facilitate haptic communication.
I am passionate about making communication networks and networked systems fast, flexible, and resilient. In particular, my research interests cover the following topics:
- Computing in Communication Networks (or In-Network Computing)
- Programmable Networks (e.g., leveraging the P4 language and Intel's Tofino switches)
- Network Softwarization (leveraging NFV and SDN)
- Distributed systems (e.g., Peer-to-Peer and overlay networks)

Previously, he worked on networking and edge/cloud computing at the robotic company Wandelbots, which he co-founded in 2017. Between 2016 and 2019, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks, TU Dresden, working on network softwarization and information theory. Between 2010 and 2014, he was a DAAD scholar and a PhD researcher at TU Darmstadt, Germany. From 2002 till 2010, he was a lecturer at the Faculty of Information Technology at the National University of Civil Engineering, Vietnam.
He obtained the Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications from Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam, in 2001, the Master’s degree in Telecommunications from the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, in 2005, and the Doctoral degree in Computer Science from TU Dresden, in 2016.
