Dr. Thanh Tam Nguyen is a Lecturer at the School of Information and Communication Technology, Griffith University, Gold Coast Campus. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). His academic and research profile is centered on advancing Big Data and Smart technologies through efficient and trustworthy AI systems. His educational background includes a Doctor of Science and a Master of Science, both from EPFL. He is actively involved in high-impact research and has published over 65 papers in top-tier venues such as SIGMOD, VLDB, SIGIR, ICDE, IJCAI, VLDBJ, TKDE, and Pattern Recognition, with over 35 in CORE A* journals and conferences. His work has attracted more than 4,200 citations (h-index 35+). Dr. Nguyen's research focuses on Big Data Analytics, Social Network Mining, Stream Processing, Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning, Recommender Systems, Explainable AI, and Graph Neural Networks . He aims to bridge human insights with data models to ensure transparency and trust in data-driven decisions. His recent work explores misinformation management, machine unlearning, and federated learning, with applications in social networks, healthcare, and sustainable agriculture. The 15 most recent publications reflect a strong trend in privacy-preserving AI, explainability, federated learning, and graph-based modeling . Key themes include machine unlearning, adversarial robustness in recommender systems, heterogeneous graph representations, and trustworthy AI deployment. His work is frequently published in ACM and IEEE venues, indicating sustained excellence in computer science and AI research. Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) Dr. Nguyen has secured over $1 million in research funding from government (DFAT, A4I, AKF), industry (CSIRO, Ubitech, Johnson & Johnson), and international bodies (NAFOSTED, ETRI, KARI). He serves as a guest editor for IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, area chair for ACL and EMNLP, and reviewer for top journals like TKDE, JVLDB, and CSUR. He supervises multiple PhD students and collaborates with leading international researchers such as Prof. Karl Aberer (EPFL), Prof. Björn Schuller (Imperial College), and Prof. Hongzhi Yin (UQ). He is a key contributor to the Responsible Big Data Lab at Griffith University and leads projects on misinformation management, AI safety, and sustainable agriculture through AI-powered traceability. His impact extends to policy and industry, particularly in cybersecurity and trustworthy AI adoption.
