Professor Bui's research bridges digital transformation, geoeconomics, and crisis management, with emphasis on Southeast Asia. His work examines computer-supported group decision systems, blockchain governance, emergency response technologies, and Vietnam's Bamboo Diplomacy foreign policy strategy through interdisciplinary lenses combining information systems, political economy, and sociology.
Analysis of his 2020-2025 publications reveals three dominant trends: (1) Blockchain applications in healthcare governance and supply chain resilience, (2) Geoeconomic analyses of Vietnam's middle-power strategy amid US-China competition, and (3) Crisis communication systems validated through real-world disasters like Hawaii's Red Hill fuel leak. His work consistently integrates technical innovation with socio-political contexts across 80+ publications in top venues including HICSS and Decision Sciences.
