Biography

Biography

Dr. Tuan Anh Le received his B.Eng. and M.Sc. degrees both in electronics and telecommunications from Hanoi University of Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2002 and 2004, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in telecommunications research from King's College London, The University of London, UK, in 2012. He was the recipient of the prestigious PhD scholarship jointly awarded by the Virtual Center of Excellence in Mobile & Personal Communications (Mobile VCE) and the UK Government's Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

From August 2004 to May 2006, he was a Telecommunications Specialist working for the Planning and Project Management Division, Department of Financial Informatics and Statistics, Ministry of Finance, Hanoi, Vietnam. He participated and contributed to several IT and telecommunications projects. In 2005, he was awarded the Excellent Staff Prize by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance Vietnam.

From April 2009 to March 2012, he was a researcher on Green Radio project funded by the Core 5 joint research program of the UK's EPSRC and the Mobile VCE. He participated in work package GR-2.3, i.e., Power Efficient Digital Signal Processing where the focal was on signal processing algorithms to minimize radio-frequency-transmission power and co-channel interference. During this time, he proposed developed several coordinated-multipoint-transmission (CoMP) algorithms and backhaul protocols to tackle inter-cell interference so that the total transmit power of the network is significantly reduced.

From July 2013 to October 2014, he was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow within the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK. His tasks were to design and develop novel radio resource allocation algorithms, with low computational complexity and signaling overhead, for spectrum sharing, i.e., cognitive radio, systems with uncertain channel information and spectrum sensing.

Since November 2014, he has been with the Faculty of Science and Technology, Middlesex University, London, UK. He is currently a senior lecturer.
