Giang T. Nguyen has been, since July 2021, an Assistant Professor and the Head of the Haptic Communication Systems research group. He is a principal investigator in interdisciplinary research projects, such as CeTI (Center of Excellence for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop) and 6G-life. He co-founded and worked at Wandelbots, a robotic startup, programming industrial robots via demonstration. Between 2016 and 2019, Giang Nguyen was a postdoc researcher at the Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks (ComNets), leading the NFV/SDN research group. Simultaneously, he is working on the Highly Adaptive Energy-Efficient Computing (HAEC) path of cfaed, coordinating the Architecture group of projects.
He received his Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications at Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST, Vietnam) in 2001, Master’s degree also in Telecommunications at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT, Thailand) in 2005. He was a Ph.D. student of Professor Thorsten Strufe at the Peer-to-Peer Networks group (TU Darmstadt, Germany) and then the Chair for Privacy and Data Security (TU Dresden, Germany). In March 2016, he successfully defended his dissertation titled “Contributions to the resilience of Peer-to-Peer video streaming against Denial-of-Service attacks.”
I am passionate about making communication networks and networked systems fast, flexible, and resilient. In particular, my research interests cover the following topics:

abstract = {Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is envisioned to provide the
foundation for a dynamic, high-performance multi-layer network
architecture. With NFV, running network functions on general-purpose
hardware is supposed to lower network latency due to reduced propagation
delay. The trade-off, however, is in impaired reliability and increased
processing latency, which could negatively affect Quality of Service (QoS)
and Quality of Experience (QoE). We investigate the trade-off via a
comprehensive measurement study exploiting a high-precision measurement
method on a carrier-grade Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switch, which provides
enhanced computing capability via lightweight containerization. Baseline
results on packet forwarding latency confirm that software-based forwarding
is inferior to the hardware pendant. Subsequently, we deploy a more
realistic application with an example for network coding and introduce a
new metric, re-coding opportunities. Our study identifies a superior
performance of generic hardware, but also shows advantages of in-network
computing for latency-tolerable scenarios.},
