Dr. Vinh Nguyen (also known as: Thanh Vinh Nguyen or Thanh V. Nguyen in academic publication) was born in Vietnam. After high school, he went to Sydney, Australia to study industrial chemistry at University of New South Wales. He then moved to undertake his PhD in organic chemistry with Professor Michael Sherburn at the Australian National University, Canberra. He had worked to develop new synthetic methodologies for application in natural product synthesis and worked on the design and synthesis of enormoussynthetic host molecules for drug-delivery modelling. After graduating in 2010, he came to work on organocatalysis in Professor Dieter Enders group at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, RWTH Aachen, Germany under the auspices of an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship.  In 2013, he moved to Curtin University (Perth, Australia) to start his own independent research group. In 2015, he moved again to UNSW (Sydney) to take up a Lecturer/ARC DECRA fellow position at the School of Chemistry. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2018 and started his ARC Future Fellowship in 2019. He was promoted Associate Professor in 2021. His current research interests are organocatalysis, aromatic cation activation, synthesis of naturally occurring and bioactive compounds, asymmetric synthesis and medicinal chemistry.
