Dr. Nhan Nguyen is a research scientist at NASA Ames Research Center with 29 years of experience. He is the technical group leader of the Advanced Control and Evolvable Systems research group in the Intelligent Systems Division. He directs and leads 20 researchers, half hold Ph.D. degrees. He served as the NASA project scientist of the NASA Integrated Resilient Aircraft Control Project which had an annual budget of $21 million and a 90-person workforce, and funded 24 research grants in adaptive control to leading researchers in the field from 2007 to 2010. He currently leads a 16-person project team to conduct the development of an advanced aircraft control technology. He has published over 160 peer-reviewed technical publications including 120 publications in control theory and applications and three book chapters. He is the reviewer for many journals including IEEE Transaction on Automatic Control, AIAA Journal of Guidance Dynamics and Control, International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Automatica, and many others. He received several prestigious awards and medals including NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal, NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal, two-time NASA Ames Honors for Excellence as Engineer, NASA Space Act Award, and 30 other caeer awards. He holds one U.S. patent, and three patents pending. He has 10 other invention disclosures. He developed several innovative adaptive control methods in the 2000s, one of which was peer-reviewed and selected by NASA for flight-testing on NASA F/A-18A research aircraft. NASA only flight-tested two other adaptive control technologies previously: one on NASA X-15 aircraft in the 1960s and the other on NASA F-15 aircraft in the 2000s. He is the incoming chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Intelligent Systems Technical Committee. He was the conference general chair of AIAA Infotech@Aerospace in 2012. He received an AIAA Distinguished Services Award. He is an adjunct professor at Santa Clara University where he teaches adaptive control, flight dynamics, and advanced dynamics, and aeroelasticity. He received the Lecturer-of-the-Year Award.

Dr. Nhan Nguyen 是 NASA 艾姆斯研究中心的研究科學家，擁有 29 年的經驗。他是智能系統部門的先進控制與可演化系統研究小組的技術小組負責人，負責指導和領導 20 名研究人員，其中一半擁有博士學位。他曾擔任 NASA 整合韌性飛機控制專案的專案科學家，該專案的年預算為 2100 萬美元，擁有 90 名工作人員，並在 2007 年至 2010 年期間資助了 24 項自適應控制的研究補助金，提供給該領域的領先研究人員。他目前領導一個 16 人的專案團隊，進行先進飛機控制技術的開發。他已發表超過 160 篇經過同行評審的技術出版物，包括 120 篇關於控制理論和應用的出版物以及三個書章。他是多本期刊的審稿人，包括 IEEE 自動控制學報、AIAA 指導動力學與控制期刊、國際穩健與非線性控制期刊、自動化期刊等。他獲得了幾個著名的獎項和勳章，包括 NASA 卓越科學成就獎勳章、NASA 卓越成就獎勳章、兩次獲得 NASA 艾姆斯卓越工程獎、NASA 太空法案獎以及其他 30 項職業獎項。他擁有一項美國專利，並有三項專利正在申請中。他還有 10 項其他發明披露。他在 2000 年代開發了幾種創新的自適應控制方法，其中一項經過同行評審並被 NASA 選中進行 NASA F/A-18A 研究飛機的飛行測試。NASA 之前僅對兩種其他自適應控制技術進行過飛行測試：一種是在 1960 年代的 NASA X-15 飛機上，另一種是在 2000 年代的 NASA F-15 飛機上。他是美國航空航天學會 (AIAA) 智能系統技術委員會的即將上任主席。他曾擔任 2012 年 AIAA Infotech@Aerospace 會議的總主席。他獲得了 AIAA 傑出服務獎。他是聖克拉拉大學的兼任教授，教授自適應控制、飛行動力學、高級動力學和氣動彈性學。他獲得了年度講師獎。
