Dr. Nguyễn Thanh Quảng

Lecturer

I am currently affiliated with the School of Business and Management, VNU, Hanoi, with over 17 years of experience in research, teaching, and technical consulting on energy systems, circular economy, and sustainable development assessment. Additionally, I teach courses related to applied mathematics, algorithms, data structures, and quantitative methods for management and engineering. My primary areas of interest include power system planning, energy infrastructure, low-carbon energy transition, life cycle assessment (LCA/LCC), circularity indicators, and decision-making support models for the energy, water, agriculture, and urban infrastructure sectors. I hold a Ph.D. in Energy Engineering from the University of Palermo (Italy), and Master's and Engineer's degrees in Power Systems from Hanoi University of Science and Technology. Throughout my professional career, I have participated in and coordinated numerous provincial and urban power planning projects in Hanoi, Bac Giang, Ha Nam, Nam Dinh, Ca Mau, Binh Phuoc, and Tuyen Quang; while also engaging in programs related to sustainable development, circular economy, and resource management. I have numerous international publications in WoS/Scopus journals on circular economy, agricultural supply chains, energy-efficient building renovation, water supply systems, and solar panel life cycle management. With an interdisciplinary background combining engineering, economics, environment, and policy, I possess strengths in data analysis, scenario building, capacity building training, teaching quantitative methods, and supporting policy formulation in the field of non-traditional security.
