Tu Dac Ho
About
I, a senior member of IEEE, have been an associate Professor at the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology (IIK) of NTNU since 2023 and the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) since 2019. I received MSc and PhD degrees from Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, in 2005 and 2011, respectively, in wireless communications. I was an Assistant Professor at Waseda University of Japan (2011--2012), a postdoctoral fellow at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (2012--2014), and a senior researcher at SINTEF Norway (2014--2018). I have participated in and led several scientific projects funded by Norwegian Research Council and EU Horizon focusing on using of ML/AI for next generation wireless communications and networks (6G and B6G) and applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in those systems. My research interests are not limited to new communications protocols, secured IoT, Cognitive radio and EH, path planning and optimization for UAVs and radio networks. I has served as a committee member/reviewer for many journals of IEEE, Elsevier, Wiley, IET, IEICE, and AIAA and flagship conferences such as IEEE GLOBECOM, ICC, and WCNC. There are about 60 international peer-reviewed publications and book chapters I have published. I am also an Editorial Board Member of Modern Subsea Engineering and Technology.
For my research: I am currently an active member of these on-going projects: 1) Small satellite strategy project at UiT (https://uit.no/project/cubesat [2022-2028]); 2) A ((FRIPRO) project in space debris detection and monitoring (https://en.uit.no/project/qbdebris [2023-2028]); 3) (Norwegian) PI of an EU project (budget of ca. 2 million Euro, [2023-2027]) in the areas of developing autonomous energy harvesting technology and sensor data network for new IoT application in the cold regions (https://uit.no/research/elsys#news_795674); 4) I am also the co-PI of a newly granted project financed by Japan Science and Technology Agency ((JST) for conducting research collaborations between Japan ((Waseda and Keio Universities) and these top teams including: a) Univ. of Houston (U.S.A.); b) Queen's Belfast Univ.(UK); c) Memorial Univ. in New Foundland (Canada); d) Charles Sturt Univ. (Australia) and e) Norwegian universities (NTNU & UiT), in the period of 2024-2029.
