Biography
Dr. Van Cuong Nguyen is a researcher in mathematics and statistics with extensive experience in medical statistics, epidemiology, and statistical modeling. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the College of Medicine, Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea, focusing on systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and advanced statistical modeling for medical research. His work has significantly contributed to understanding disease risk factors, treatment outcomes, and health trends. Dr. Nguyen earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics and Statistics from Chonnam National University, Korea, in 2019, where he developed novel variable selection techniques using truncated and modified log penalties. He previously obtained his Master's degree in Mathematics from Vietnam National University-Hanoi and his Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Hanoi University of Education. With a strong research background, Dr. Nguyen has held multiple academic and research positions. He served as a postdoctoral fellow at Seoul National University, conducting studies on accelerated failure time models using generalized extreme value distributions. Before that, he was a lecturer and Vice Dean of the Mathematics Department at the Academy of Policy and Development in Hanoi, Vietnam, where he taught advanced mathematics, probability and statistics, and econometrics. His research expertise includes multivariate statistical analysis, time series analysis, Bayesian regression, Monte Carlo methods, and big data analysis. He is proficient in programming languages such as R, Python, C++, and IDL, and he has a strong publication record in high-impact scientific journals. His recent research projects focus on evaluating surgical outcomes in thyroidectomy procedures, statistical modeling of health trends among older adults, and analyzing risk factors associated with mental health conditions. Dr. Nguyen has actively participated in international conferences and academic collaborations, furthering the impact of his research in medical statistics and public health. His commitment to high-quality research and educational excellence continues to shape advancements in statistical methodologies applied to healthcare and epidemiology.
