Duc-Quang HOANG was born in Hà Tây province, Vietnam where he completed his high school education in 1996 at Bat-Bat high school. He completed his B.S. degree in Solid State Physics at Hanoi National University, Hanoi, Vietnam (1996–2000). He did his Master of Science (MSc.) & Master of Science by Research (MSc.[R]) in Nano-magnetism & Condensed Matter Physics at Chungbuk National University, Korea (2002–2005) and University of Glasgow, UK (2007–2011), respectively. He also worked at Korea Institute of Science & Technology (KIST), Korea (2003) and Department of Electronic Engineering, Tohoku University, Japan (2006). Quang moved to the Wide Band-Gap Materials (WBGM) research group leading by Prof. Ken Haenen, Institute for Materials Research (IMO), Hasselt University & IMOMEC, IMEC vzw, Belgium for his PhD degree (2012–2017).

​

Returning Vietnam after 15 years abroad, Quang participated Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU), Vietnam since May 2017 as an independent researcher. His expertise links to materials science where he received high-level trainings in condensed matter physics and nanotechnology at the Kelvin laboratory, University of Glasgow, UK (2007-2011) and 2D material fabrication using RF sputtering at IMO, Hasselt University, Belgium (2012-2017). Quang proficiently used the Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) and other advanced characterization techniques associated with LTEM, i.e. patterning NiFe nanowires with focused ion beam (FIB) technique, evaporating NiFe thin films on Si3N4-TEM membranes with thermal evaporator for the LTEM characterization, cross-sectioning TEM specimens with gentle ion milling techniques using low ion beam energies. Quang has authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications.

​

Since May 2021, Quang upgraded to lecturer at TDTU at which his research interests focus on ferromagnetic nanowires and 2D materials (hBN, graphene), including their fabrication/deposition, LTEM/HRTEM characterization, and LTEM spintronic-devices. Based on those experiences working in science and technology from various countries - Korea, Japan, UK, Belgium, Quang expects to open a new research group of low dimensional nanomaterials at TDTU where he is looking forward doing some significant things in applied science to gain more experiences in both doing research and supervising students at the higher education level. Such scientific activities enable him to become a professional level in future.
