I am a PhD researcher in Electronic Materials at the Graduate University of Science and Technology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, and a research assistant at the Institute for Advanced Study in Technology, Ton Duc Thang University.

My research focuses on nanomaterials, plasma technology, and plasma–liquid interactions, particularly the synthesis of noble-metal and metal-oxide nanomaterials for catalysis, environmental remediation, and energy applications. My long-term vision is to integrate plasma technology, automation, and artificial intelligence to develop efficient, controllable, and scalable materials synthesis processes.
