First Vietnamese appointed editor-in-chief of world leading scientific journal

A Vietnamese professor has made history as the first Vietnamese editor-in-chief of a prestigious scientific journal under the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Professor Duong Quang Trung, 44, a full professor at Memorial University, Canada, and Chair Professor at Queen’s University Belfast, U.K., assumed his role as editor-in-chief of IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials (IEEE COMST) on Jan. 1. His tenure will last two years.

IEEE COMST is the largest journal among the 336 publications within the IEEE system, and Trung is the first Vietnamese to hold this position.

Speaking to VnExpress, Trung explained his responsibilities include overseeing the journal’s content and making final decisions on submitted articles.

“I am extremely proud to lead one of IEEE’s most prestigious journals. I aim to further develop it as a key resource for researchers and professionals in telecommunications systems, mobile information technology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum computing,” Trung said.

According to SCImago Journal Rankings, IEEE COMST is the top journal among nearly 700 in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and ranks second among nearly 3,000 technical science journals globally.

Professor Trung hails from Hoi An in central Vietnam. He earned a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology in 2002, followed by a master’s degree in Engineering from Kyung Hee University in South Korea in 2005, and a PhD in Telecommunications from Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden in 2012, all on full scholarships.

A leading scientist in telecommunications and computing engineering, particularly in 5G and 6G networks, Trung has authored over 550 research publications, including 350 indexed in the ISI database.

In 2013, he was appointed a professor at Queen’s University Belfast, part of the U.K.’s prestigious Russell Group of 24 top universities. He is the only individual in the U.K. to have received two prestigious research awards from the Royal Academy of Engineering: the Research Fellowship (2016) and the Research Chair (2020). He also received the Newton Prize in 2017 for exceptional research and earned accolades at IEEE Globecom, the world’s largest mobile information conference, in 2016, 2019, and 2022.

Trung has also secured over $40 million in research funding. In 2022, his research team and collaborators received £12 million (US$15.2 million) from the U.K. government to advance scalable technologies beyond 5G and 6G.

In November 2023, the Canadian government named him a Canada Excellence Research Chair, awarding $5.9 million to support his leadership in next-generation wireless mobile technology research.
