Dr. Dinh Duc Nha Nguyen

Dr. Dinh Duc Nha Nguyen (Tony/Nhã) is the Principal Investigator and Founder of the Cyber-Reasoning Lab at VinUniversity, leading pioneering work in symbolic AI, mathematical logic, and interpretable reasoning systems. His research focuses on building AI models that can reason, deduce, and explain, with applications across engineering physics, secure systems, and intelligent automation. He has contributed to foundational algorithms for symbolic inference, hybrid neuro-symbolic models, and efficient logic engines for embedded systems. Dr. Nguyen advocates for transparency and robustness in AI, emphasizing the development of models aligned with human reasoning. As an academic leader, he has published in top AI venues and mentors an interdisciplinary team in developing frameworks that integrate logic programming, cognitive modeling, and constraint-based reasoning. His work bridges theoretical advances and practical deployments in real-world decision systems. Beyond symbolic AI, Dr. Nguyen is internationally recognized for his contributions to post‑quantum cryptography (PQC) and AI‑driven cyber defense. His recent projects deliver quantum‑resilient security frameworks, autonomous threat‑detection pipelines, and secure IoT/robotic platforms. He also serves as an Expert Advisor for PSI Testing and Certification JSC, aligning industrial compliance with cutting‑edge research.
