Prof. Trung Thanh Nguyen is a Professor of Operational Research in Transportation and a co-director of the Liverpool Logistics, Offshore and Marine (LOOM) Research Institute, which is a leading research institute in risk assessment, safety analysis, and transport/logistics.

He is leading the Smart Green Things group, a research and development group on optimisation/simulation, operational research, data analytics, machine learning with focuses on active travel, maritime, transport (rail and road), logistics, IoT and smart cities problems.

His group is helping industry and local authorities to improve operations and solve various problems such as:
- Smart, data-powered solutions for public transportation, especially passenger rail.
- Smart IoT sensors and smart city solutions to improve transportation operations, well-beings and air quality.
- Data analytics, optimisation and artificial intelligence to promote active travel (cycling and walking).
- Optimisation solutions to improve maritime port operations.
- Simulation to understand what-if scenarios for ports, airports, train stations, and universities.
- Machine learning-based prediction to improve traffic congestion on roads and reduce delays on rail and buses.

He has attracted over £3M external grant funding to LJMU (over £2M as Principal Investigator). He has led/been leading 16 externally funded projects as Principal Investigator. He led a REF impact case study and provided 7 research outputs to LJMU’s REF 2021 Engineering submission, contributing to our excellent REF performance (96% outputs and 100% impact are ‘world-leading ‘or ‘internationally-excellent’). He received the LJMU Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Research, Scholarship and Knowledge Transfer in 2015, a Highly Commended Award in Newton Prize 2017, a runner-up Mersey Maritime Innovation Award in 2018 (together with Prof. Zaili Yang and Prof. Jin Wang), and a national runner-up prize for the best ICT product in the Vietnam's Nhan Tai Dat Viet 2005 award.
