Welcome to my webpage! 

My name is Dung Ngoc Dao, in Vietnamese, Đào Ngọc Dũng. I have finished the postdoctoral position at McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am now doing industrial research.

My research interest includes space-time coding and signal processing, multi-user MIMO, MIMO-OFDM, and OFDM based systems (WiFi, WiMAX).

I have worked on the problems of dynamic resource allocation for H.264/AVC video transmission over wireless networks, such as WiFi and WiMax systems.
