Introduction

Dr. Quang Tan Nguyen received his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Automotive Engineering from the University of Ulsan, South Korea, in 2024. His doctoral research contributed significantly to the fundamental understanding of liquid–solid contact electrification and the advancement of novel direct-current (DC) power generation methods for energy harvesting applications. Before pursuing his Ph.D., he studied at the National Institute of Applied Sciences Centre Val de Loire (INSA-CVL), France, specializing in industrial systems engineering. During his time at INSA-CVL, he received multidisciplinary training in electronics, automation, mechanics, and mechatronics—building a strong foundation for his future research in sustainable and intelligent energy systems. From 2024 to 2025, Dr. Nguyen continued his work at the University of Ulsan as a Postdoctoral Researcher, leading studies in high-efficiency energy harvesting for smart infrastructure and self-powered electronics. He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at VinUniversity, where he advances the development of convergent energy harvesting systems and integrated self-powered platforms for Internet of Things (IoT) and smart city applications.
