Hoa T. Nguyen

Hoa Nguyen is a Research Scientist in the Quantum Systems Team at CSIRO’s Data61 – Australia’s National Research Organisation, where he develops quantum software systems for the Australian National Quantum Computing Testbed (NQCT). He completed his PhD at the qCLOUDS Lab at the University of Melbourne, focusing on serverless and reinforcement learning–based resource management for quantum cloud computing. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Networks and Communications and a Master of Computer Science from the University of Information Technology, Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City (UIT-HCM). He has over eight years of university teaching experience in computer networks and cybersecurity at UIT-HCM, University of Melbourne and Monash University. His research lies at the intersection of quantum software, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing, with a focus on AI-driven optimisation for quantum compilation and resource orchestration in distributed quantum-classical systems.
