| Biography: | I am Trong Nguyen. I am an Assistant Professor of Air Traffic Control in the Department of Aviation Science and Management, School of Aviation, at 麻豆视频 in Eastman, Georgia. My primary responsibilities include teaching undergraduate-level courses in air traffic control and air traffic management. I have also served on the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) Steering Committee for MGA since April 5, 2024. Before joining MGA, I gained significant industry experience, including roles as a Research Scholar and PhD Research Assistant at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where I completed two FAA-sponsored projects. In addition, I served as a researcher and project lead at the Air Traffic Management Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, where I led airspace sectorization projects for ASEAN countries, including Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. This work significantly contributed to the modernization of regional air traffic management, particularly in airspace capacity management and the enhancement of air traffic safety. Earlier, I served as Acting Head (Dean) of the Air Traffic Control Faculty at the Vietnam Aviation Academy and as an Air Traffic Controller at Tan Son Nhat International Airport under Vietnam Air Traffic Management. |
