Biography
Vuong Mai is a Lecturer in Electronics and Communication Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering and Digital Technologies, University of Bradford, UK. He is also a core team member of the Bradford-Renduchintala Centre for Space AI. Prior to joining Bradford, he worked as a Research Assistant Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering, KAIST, South Korea. His current research interests encompass several areas, including optical wireless, free-space optics, B5G/6G, aerial communications, and space communications.
Research
OSpace (Optical Wireless and Future Space Networks): The increasing demand for high-speed data transmission and congestion in the radio frequency spectrum are creating exciting opportunities for optical wireless. Vuong Mai's current research focuses on the optical wireless technology operating in the near-infrared band, which is widely referred to as free-space optics (FSO). This technology, having an extremely wide unregulated bandwidth and narrow beam divergence, is capable of delivering high data-rate signals (e.g., >1 Gb/s) over a long distance (e.g., >1000 km). Low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) terminals and high-secure transmission are also enabled by FSO. However, still perceived are significant challenges, including adverse effects of the atmospheric transmission medium and requirements for highly precise beam alignment. Vuong Mai is working on various techniques for enabling reliable FSO systems. He is also interested in future space networks (SpaceNets), in which FSO could be one of the key technologies for realizing high-speed/large-capacity space communication links and long-distance/free-space quantum key distribution.
