Dr Linh Nguyen

Biography/ Background

Linh V. Nguyen was born in Hanoi, Vietnam. He graduated with a Bsc. degree in Applied Physics from Hanoi University of Science in 2002 and earned a PhD in Information and Communications from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), South Korea, in 2009. His graduate works focused on the development of fibre-optics devices for applications in fibre sensor, fibre laser and all-optical signal processing. In early 2010 he moved to Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Western Australia to work on the development of fibre-optics sensors for applications in Desalination and seawater-related industries. Linh's experiences range from fabrication (MCVD, DT) and characterisation of specialty optical fibres to development of fibre devices (grating, sensor, laser, micro-machined fibre etc). Currently he is with the Institute for Photonics & Advanced Sensing (IPAS), School of Chemistry and Physics, as an Australian Research Council (ARC) Super Science Fellow leading a project toward development of rapid protein sensing and blood typing platform at crime scenes as well as highly specific DNA fibre-optics sensor capable of detecting SNP.
