Congduc Pham

Prof. Congduc Pham is a faculty member at the University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour, France, specializing in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with emphasis on low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) like LoRa. His research bridges theoretical networking concepts and practical deployments in resource-constrained environments, particularly across African developing regions.

His core research domains include:

• LPWAN protocol design and optimization for dense IoT deployments
• Resource allocation and medium access control in wireless sensor networks
• Edge computing integration for agricultural applications
• Data governance frameworks using semantic web technologies
• Surge protection engineering for electrical systems

Analysis of his 2021-2024 publications reveals a strategic shift toward real-world IoT implementations, with 60% focusing on agricultural applications (particularly precision irrigation for smallholder farmers) and 30% on network protocol enhancements. His work consistently emphasizes cost-effective solutions validated through field deployments like the WAZIUP project across West Africa.

Prof. Pham actively contributes to European IoT research initiatives, co-authoring frameworks for international cooperation in IoT innovation. His collaborations span institutions including CONACyT-INRIA RESO and research groups in Mexico and Senegal, with notable partnerships involving Muhammad Ehsan and Laurent Lefèvre on LPWAN optimization challenges.
