Rate My Professor Khoa Nguyen

Dr. Khoa Nguyen is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering within the College of Engineering and Information Technology at Adelaide University. He received his B.Eng. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Melbourne in December 2005 and his Ph.D. in telecommunications from the Institute for Telecommunications Research at the University of South Australia in March 2010. Prior to his current appointment, Dr. Nguyen served as a Research Fellow at STEM. He is eligible to supervise Master's and PhD students.

Dr. Nguyen's research specializations include adaptive transmission, communication with delay constraints, communications for interactive control, coding theory, and satellite communications. Throughout his career, he has contributed significantly to these areas through high-quality publications in renowned journals. His recent work includes "Zero-feedback open-loop distributed transmit beamforming" co-authored with G. Lechner and I. Ahmad, published in Digital Signal Processing in 2025. Other notable publications are "Joint parameter estimation and decoding in a distributed receiver" with A. Waqas, G. Lechner, and T. Chan in the International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking (2023); "On the next-generation high throughput satellite systems with optical feeder links" in IEEE Systems Journal (2021); "Tracking unstable autoregressive sources over discrete memoryless channels" in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (2019); "Delay-universal channel coding with feedback" in IEEE Access (2018); "MIMO ARQ with multibit feedback: outage analysis" in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (2012); and "Outage exponents of block-fading channels with power allocation" also in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (2010). These publications highlight his expertise in advanced communication systems, beamforming, satellite networks, and error-correcting codes.
