Two scientists honored as young talents of Ho Chi Minh City

With many research works and international publications, Ha Quy Tan and Doan Chau Thanh Vinh, both 24 years old, were honored as Ho Chi Minh City Young Talents in the field of science and technology on the evening of March 23.

Tan is currently working at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Faculty of Applied Sciences, pursuing research in biomedical engineering. He is the author and co-author of three ISI/Scopus indexed articles, two scientific articles in IEEE journals, and four articles published in international conferences.

Tan's scientific works aim to study the ability of Glucose molar absorption relative to sugar concentration at wavelengths of 1300 nm and 1550 nm to develop a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring device. The research is published in the IEEE journal of Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability in 2022.

Tan is also the main author of the study on optimizing near-infrared wavelengths for optical-based fruit quality assessment using Monte Carlo simulation. The work was published in the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering in Vietnam in 2023.

He is the main author and co-author of three articles published in prestigious international journals, including one Q1 article and two Q2 articles. Vinh is also the main author and co-author of three publications in domestic scientific conferences.

A study authored by Vinh is the microwave conversion of fructose to 5-HMF using an acid carbonate catalyst. The study was published in the journal Molecular Catalysis in the Q2 category. Vinh is the valedictorian of the chemistry department of the university in 2022 and has won many academic, creative, and 5-good student awards at all levels.

In addition to the two talents honored in the field of science and technology, the Organizing Committee awarded 6 outstanding individuals in the field of study: Le Nam Long, a 7th grade student at Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted, with many international achievements in mathematics. Do Thi Thanh Binh, a student at Le Ngoc Han Primary School, won a gold medal at the Singapore Math Olympiad and the Asian SASMO along with many domestic and international awards in mathematics and information technology. Le Minh Duc, a student at Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted, was honored with a four-legged robot product to search for victims in landslide areas, along with many awards in science and technology.

As students, Vo Khac Trieu and Vu Quoc Lam, both students at the University of Natural Sciences in Ho Chi Minh City, won many national awards in informatics. Nguyen Quoc Trung, a student at the same university, is the author of many scientific publications in the field of chemistry.

Each young talent will receive a sponsorship of VND20 million for their study, research and training activities sponsored by TTI Group. Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union Tran Thu Ha said that this is a reward for the efforts, striving to conquer passion and creativity of young talents who know how to overcome difficulties and challenges to achieve proud achievements.
