Charles Cuong Nguyen (born Nguyen Cuong, October 22, 1954) is a Vietnamese American researcher, educator, administrator, and presidential appointee. He is best known for being the first Vietnamese American Dean of an American university. ^[1]

Early life and education

Nguyen was born on October 22, 1954, in Danang, South Vietnam. He graduated as valedictorian from Institut de la Providence in Hue in 1971 and then studied in West Germany, earning a Diplom-Ingenieur in electrical engineering from Konstanz University of Applied Sciences in 1978. ^[2]

Career

Nguyen began his academic career at the Catholic University of America (CUA) in 1982, rising to professor and dean emeritus. He led the School of Engineering, enhancing enrollment and research productivity. Nguyen's research in robotics secured significant NASA funding and produced innovations for space and medical applications. He developed numerous engineering courses and contributed to international educational projects, helping Vietnamese and Indonesian universities achieve accreditation. Nguyen also shared educational insights on Voice of America.

He is a fellow of the AAAS and a senior member of the IEEE and ASME. He was the recipient of the CUA Academic Vice President Research Excellence Award in 1999, the GWU Distinguished Alumni Scholar Award in 2002, the Lifetime Achievement Award from World Automation Congress in 2004 for contributions in robotics and intelligent automation, and the Community Service Award in Education from Asia Entertainment Inc, in 2004. He received the 2006 Excellence in Community Service Award from the Vietnamese American Medical Research Foundation (VAMRF) in February 2007, the Leadership Award from the International Network of Engineering Education and Research (INEER) in September 2007 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the District of Columbia Council of Engineering and Architectural Societies (DCCEAS), February 2009. He also received The Asian Heritage Award from the Asian Heritage Society in 2014.
