Dr. Hoang-Phuong Phan

Hoang-Phuong Phan won the third prize at the Vietnamese National Mathematic Olympiad (VMO, 2004) and participated in the final round for the selection of the Vietnamese Team for the International Mathematic Olympiad (IMO). His mathematic solving skill and the ability to connect different areas of math shape his engineering approaches to address technological challenges and innovations. Currently, Dr. Phan is a Senior Lecturer and an ARC DECRA fellow at the school of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, UNSW Sydney. His research interests cover a broad range of semiconductor devices and applications, including MEMS/NEMS, integrated sensors, flexible electronics, and bio-sensing applications. Dr. Phan was a visiting scholar at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan in 2016, Stanford University, CA, USA in 2017, and Northwestern University, IL, USA in 2019. Dr. Phan has published over 100  journal articles (e.g. Nat. Comm., Science Adv., PNAS, ACS Nano, Adv. Funct. Mater., Angew Chemie., Nano Energy), two US patents, and four book/book-chapters, all in micro and nanotechnologies. He was a recipient of the Japanese Government scholarships (MEXT) for talented undergraduate & postgraduate students (2006 - 2013) at The University of Tokyo, Japan, and GUPRS & GUIPRS scholarships from Griffith for the doctoral course (2013-2016). Dr. Phan was honored with the GU publication award, the Springer outstanding theses award, the Australian Nanotechnology Network Fellowship, GU Postdoctoral Fellowship, the DECRA award, the Pro Vice-Chancellor ECR award (2019), the Griffith Vice-Chancellor Excellence in Research Award for ECR (2020), and the GROW award from UNSW. He serves in the Executive Technical Program Committee of the IEEE International Conferences on MicroElectroMechanical Systems (IEEE MEMS).
