Dr Duc Phuc Nguyen

Dr Nguyen is an early career researcher, currently working as a post-doctoral research fellow at the Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health (FHMRI Sleep Health). Dr Nguyen completed a PhD in Acoustics, specializing in Machine Learning and signal processing, within a remarkably brief period of 2.5 years.

Dr Nguyen conducts innovative work and has recently developed a hybrid model that combines machine learning, analytical modelling, and data-driven techniques to model the human core body temperature to monitor human circadian timing. Dr Nguyen's current research focus is to apply mathematical and data-driven approaches to enhance the understanding of the respiratory system, specifically in quantifying breathing effort. Notably, Dr Nguyen's team of students have prototyped a low-cost under-mattress system that provides highly accurate assessments of sleep disorders, movement and vital signs. Dr Nguyen has an impressive publication record relative to opportunity, including 16 peer-reviewed papers, five peer-reviewed full-length conference papers. These achievements are indicative of outstanding skills, competence, and contributions to the fields of machine learning and signal processing in acoustics and respiratory and sleep medicine.
