Co-organizer’s Bios:

Trung Quang Duong:

Prof. Duong is an internationally recognised expert in 6G wireless systems, vehicular connectivity, and quantum-secure communications. His research focuses on AI-native architectures, semantic
communications, and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) for autonomous mobility and large-scale traffic monitoring. With over 500 publications and multiple IEEE Best Paper Awards, he
has pioneered solutions for vehicular edge intelligence and NTN integration. Prof. Duong is an IEEE Fellow and Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials, actively shaping the
future of safe, sustainable, and intelligent transportation systems.

Shigeru Shimamoto: 

Prof. Shimamoto is a leading authority on satellite and aerial communication systems for mobility, with extensive contributions to vehicular networking, UAV-assisted coverage, and optical wireless
technologies. His work on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and IoT-driven vehicular systems has advanced connectivity for large-scale traffic monitoring and emergency response. A recipient of Japan’s Minister of Education Award, Prof. Shimamoto drives research on NTN-enabled V2X and energy-efficient vehicular infrastructures, making him a key innovator in next-generation ITS.

Kyunghan Lee: 

Prof. Lee specialises in low-latency networking and edge computing for autonomous vehicles, focusing on split computing, mobile AI, and real-time vehicular decision-making. His award-winning
research on 5G/6G vehicular systems and cooperative perception has earned him multiple IEEE and ACM honours, including the William R. Bennett Prize. Prof. Lee’s work directly addresses VTC’s mission by enabling ultra-reliable V2X and immersive mobility services through advanced network architectures.

Tu Dac Ho:

Assoc. Prof. Tu Dac Ho is an expert in non-terrestrial networks (NTN) and 6G architectures for vehicular mobility. His research focuses on UAV/HAPS-assisted connectivity, Visible Light Communications (VLC) for V2V/V2X, and AI-native orchestration for autonomous driving and large-scale traffic monitoring. He integrates edge computing, integrated sensing and communication
(ISAC), and energy-efficient protocols to enable sustainable and resilient Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Prof. Ho has published more than 90 articles in IEEE conferences and journals, and
serves on technical committees for major events such as IEEE VTC, CCNC, WCNC, and GLOBECOM. His work bridges NTN innovation with vehicular safety, cooperative perception, and real-time decision-making, making him a key contributor to the vision of safe, sustainable, and globally connected mobility.
