After completing my undergraduate studies at Danang Polytechnics in 2014, I was employed here as a lecturer for two years. I started my master's program at Grenoble, France, in 2016, and I graduated with a research master's degree in 2018. My second master's degree from The University of Tokyo in Japan was awarded to me in 2020. My next journey started in 2021 when I enrolled in the PhD program at Heriot-Watt University, UK, which I completed in 2023.  I recently worked at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. I have had numerous opportunities to learn and improve my skills in physical modelling, laboratory testing, numerical simulation, mathematical models, and analytical methods related to geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering during my research and study period.

My reseach aim is to apply science to practical problems. My main research interests are the use ofinnovative materials for ground improvement, the thermal-hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils, advanced numerical modelling, geothermal energy systems, offshore wind, soil-structure interaction, geotechnics in adapting to climate change, reliability-based design, and resilient infrastructure projects.

Currently, I am working on the application of the 2nd generation of the European standard "Eurocode 7" to dam and tunnel engineering, which is a new scope for the Eurocode. The project will provide a scientific basis for the application to rock tunnels and for dams. The project will investigate the how to deal with the limit amount of the geotechnical investigations, among other things. For both tunnels and dams, we plan to conduct detailed examples and case studies
