Dr Trung Nguyen is a postdoctoral researcher in Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences at RMIT University’s School of Science. He is a core member of the Remote Sensing Research Group, which focuses on advancing remote sensing technologies for environmental applications.
His research explores how forest ecosystems respond to natural and human-induced disturbances and their implications for the carbon cycle. He develops geospatial frameworks for forest monitoring and wildfire research, integrating airborne (ALS), terrestrial (TLS), and spaceborne LiDAR (e.g., GEDI) with multi-sensor satellite data (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel). By leveraging advanced GeoAI techniques, including machine learning and deep learning, he investigates forest dynamics and vertical fuel structure across spatial and temporal scales.
Trung’s work contributes to geospatial science applications in forest management, wildfire research, and broader environmental challenges. He is also interested in applying geospatial technologies to natural resource management, including land use and biodiversity conservation, as well as agricultural innovation.
