Assistant Professor, Computer Science

Biography

Dr. Viet Quoc Pham received the Ph.D. degree in telecommunications engineering from Inje University, Korea, in 2017. He is currently an Assistant Professor in Networks and Distributed Systems with the School of Computer Science and Statistics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. He is also a Supervisor with the ADVANCE CRT centre and an Associate Investigator at the CONNECT centre, Ireland. Prior to joining TCD, he was in various academic positions with Kyung Hee University, Changwon National University, and Pusan National University.

He specialises in applying convex optimisation, game theory, and machine learning to analyse and optimise cloud edge computing, wireless networks, and IoT systems. Specifically, his research focuses on three main thrusts, including computing (e.g., edge computing, aerial computing, edge of things, and edge AI), intelligence (e.g., wireless AI and federated learning), and networking (e.g., 6G wireless, IoT, intelligent surfaces, metaverse, and blockchain). He was granted the Korea NRF funding for outstanding young researchers for the term 2019-2024. He was a recipient of the Best Ph.D. Dissertation Award from Inje University in 2017, the Top Reviewer Award from the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology in 2020, the Golden Globe Award in Science and Technology for Young Researchers in Vietnam in 2021, and the IEEE ATC Best Paper Award in 2022. He was honored with the IEEE ComSoc Best Young Researcher Award for EMEA 2023 in recognition of my research activities for the benefit of the Communications Society. He is serving or served as an Editor of IEEE Communications Letters, Journal of Network and Computer Applications, and Scientific Reports, and a Lead/Guest Editor of the IEEE Internet of Things Journal, IEEE Internet of Things Magazine, IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, and Computer Communications. He is a senior member of the IEEE.

Research Expertise

Description

Dr. Pham's research interest is based on inter-disciplined approaches for the practical design of complex and communication networks. Specifically, his research is motivated via three phases of modeling the network, analyzing the modeled network, and designing algorithms. The first two phases are based on the use of various mathematical tools such as convex optimization, game theory, and machine learning, whereas the third phase is to design robust, efficient, and scalable algorithms for efficient performance. Based on that vision, his research focuses on three main thrusts called COIN, including COmputing (e.g., cloud edge computing, aerial computing, edge of things, and edge AI), Intelligence (e.g., wireless AI, deep learning, deep reinforcement learning, and federated learning), Networking (e.g., 6G wireless, IoT, intelligent surfaces, metaverse, and blockchain).

Projects

  • Title
    • Privacy Enhancing Connected Cars in 5G and Beyond
  • Summary
    • Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is a key technology in 5G and beyond, and machine learning is a promising tool for low-complexity, fast-response, and easy-deployment algorithms. A connected vehicle can provide some main functions and services, for example, traffic safety, infotainment, traffic efficiency, cost efficiency, and convenience and interaction. This project aims to utilise machine learning to design optimised resource allocation for 5G with the coexistence of traditional and MEC computing paradigms. From the network and communication perspective, this project will first provide several machine learning-based resource allocation frameworks for connected vehicles with integrated 4C communication, computing, caching, and control. However, a critical concern with conventional machine learning is data privacy since most vehicles want to keep track of their local data and are unwilling to share local data with a third party. To tackle data privacy challenges, this project will utilise federated learning, a new distributed AI concept, for secure computation offloading, caching, and communication in connected vehicle networks. This project further sets on implementing the testbeds to provide more practical and implementation aspects that theoretical results cannot provide.

  • Title
    • Edge-assisted Activity Recognition Using Skeletal Representation and Deep Learning for Video Surveillance
  • Summary
    • This project brings together the research area of computer vision, deep learning, and edge computing for interdisciplinary collaboration. While in recent years, there has been a great deal of interest from scientists and researchers in these areas, there has been little work on the design and development of an intelligent surveillance system that integrates cutting-edge technologies for efficient activity recognition. More specifically, the contributions of this project can be stated as (1) A HAR framework is developed by fully exploiting the benefits of human skeleton information (i.e., privacy protection and latency reduction) in IoT environments, (2) A comprehensive study of feature extraction schemes is provided to investigate the effectiveness and ability of different feature types in capturing dynamics of body joints in both spatial and temporal domains, (3) Depending on the type of skeletal features, we design various lightweight DL models for inferring human activities on resourced-constrained devices in two directions: CNNs for learning fixed-size video representation and deep sequential networks (RNN and Transformer) for learning dynamics of variable-length sequences, and (4) We propose a collaborative computation offloading algorithm to achieve the load balancing among the edge servers and to meet latency and accuracy requirements of an edge HAR system. Hence, the project has both high scientific and commercial potential due to the high demand for large-scale surveillance applications for industry, healthcare, risk monitoring, and automated assisted living systems.
