Nguyen Khoi Tran

Researcher, Reader, Writer

Currently

Research fellow the Centre for Research on Engineering Software Technology (CREST) at the University of Adelaide, conducting research in the TIPS. My core research question is how to empower organisations and individuals to build and use decentralised software solutions that are efficient, resilient, secure, privacy-preserving, and user-controllable. My research adopts an engineering-centric approach, focusing on the systemization of architectural design knowledge and the development of tools and frameworks to enable decentralised software.
