Biography
Trang Ngoc Cao received the Ph.D. degree in engineering from The University of Melbourne, Australia, in 2020, the M.S. degree in electronics and radio engineering from Kyung Hee University, South Korea, in 2015, and the B.E. degree in electronics and telecommunications from the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, Vietnam, in 2012. She is currently a research fellow at School of Psychological Sciences, Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, Monash University, Australia. In 2018 and 2019, she was a Visiting Research Scholar with the Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. Her research interests fall into the broad areas of communications and neuroscience. She currently focuses on understanding brain anatomy and function in both health and disease by using MRI.
