2017 Professional of the Year
Dr Jordan Nguyen works with a kind of digital passion that goes beyond the self. His mantra, ‘One life. Persist to improve many,’ has powered socially inclusive assistive technology that enhances the lives of people with disabilities—like his mind-controlled wheelchair—and eye-controlled communication keyboard, music software and flying spaceship game.
Jordan’s creations are so innovative they seem to touch the realm of telekinesis. The ACS Digital Disruptors Awards thus had a very special ICT Professional of the Year in 2017.
