Hang Trung Dinh

Hang Trung Dinh is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer and Information Sciences, Indiana University South Bend. He specializes in Quantum Computing, Post-Quantum Cryptography, and Theoretical Computer Science Education. He co-founded ExtentWorld, a social media platform emphasizing privacy-conscious design.

Education: PhD in Computer Science from the University of Connecticut (2010), advised by Professor Alexander Russell. His research bridges quantum computing fundamentals, heuristic search optimization, and educational methodologies in computing theory.

Research Interests:

• Quantum Algorithms and Lower Bounds
• Post-Quantum Cryptographic Systems
• Algorithmic Analysis of Heuristic Search Methods
• Computer Security & Cryptography
• Innovative Course Development in Discrete Mathematics

Publications highlight contributions to quantum-resistant encryption (e.g., McEliece Cryptosystem analysis) and heuristic search efficiency studies. His work has been featured in venues like Quantum Information & Computation and AAAI.

Grants: Secured two IUSB Faculty Research Grants ($8,500 each) for projects on heuristic search empirical analysis (2011) and algorithmic pedagogy (2013).
