Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Science
Sir William Tyree Scholar
Quang is undertaking a dual degree in Electrical Engineering (Computer) and Physics, with a minor in Mathematics, at UQ. He aspires to advance understanding in theoretical physics while driving innovation at the intersection of power systems engineering and quantum computing.
In 2022, Quang graduated from Mansfield State High School with an ATAR of 99.6 (OP 1), placing him in the top 0.4% of students. He achieved a perfect score of 100/100 in QCAA Year 11 Physics and was awarded Dux of Physics for three consecutive years (2020–2022). He also received multiple subject DUX awards, represented his school in the Australian Science Olympiad Competition, and achieved High Distinction results in several mathematics competitions.
Quang has gained industry experience as an Engineering Intern at CSIRO’s National Energy Analysis Centre, where he worked on scaling heliostat concentrated solar thermal systems in collaboration with FPR Energy. Beyond academics, Quang is actively involved in leadership and outreach. During his time at Mansfield State High School, he served as a student leader supporting Year 7 students, a Student Council Representative, while at university he serves as an EAIT Student Ambassador delivering STEM workshops to high school students, volunteers at Queensland Museum for Australian Science Academy Symposium, and acts as committee member for EBESS and TAISA.
In 2025, Quang was awarded the prestigious New Colombo Plan Grant by the Australian Government, enabling him to undertake academic engagements in Taiwan, including exposure to advanced semiconductor manufacturing at TSMC. As a first-generation immigrant from Vietnam, he has witnessed the impacts of climate-related disasters firsthand, reinforcing his commitment to sustainability. Supported by the Liveris Academy’s mentorship, Quang seeks to contribute to Australia’s transition to net-zero by 2050.
