Academic exchange lecturers linked to community research
The University of Education - a member of the University of Danang, announced that the school has just had two more staff and lecturers, Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Dang Mau, Head of the Department of Biology - Environment and Dr. Bui Thi Thanh Dieu, Head of the Department of Psychology, Faculty ofEducational Psychology, participating in the Academic Exchange Program, giving lectures at leading universities in the United States.
This activity is one of the contents of the Project for Collaborative Innovation in Higher Education (PHER), between Vietnam and US partners, in which Danang University is one of the three leading universities in Vietnam (along with Hanoi National University and Ho Chi Minh City National University) qualified and selected to participate.
It is known that Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Dang Mau has chaired the research on Spirulina production technology, which is currently being applied and transferred to contribute to the development of the local economy in Van Tuong City, Quang Ngai Province. With this Scholar Exchange Program, Mr. Trinh Dang Mau participated in the research on rotifers at the Marine Biology Laboratory, University of Chicago.
The research aims to apply advanced methods such as machine learning with modern equipment to focus on studying and analyzing zooplankton, thereby developing algae ecosystems and preventing microplastic pollution. Young scientists from the University of Danang cooperate with experts from partners to propose a Biological Early Warning System to support monitoring of aquatic ecosystems.
“Rotifers in freshwater ecosystems are an understudied area in Southeast Asia. Therefore, through the research process, exploring the diversity and biological role of zooplankton, I hope to bring useful results, contributing to the requirements of environmental protection in aquaculture, serving sustainable development” - Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Dang Mau shared.
Dr. Bui Thi Thanh Dieu participated in the Visiting Scholar Program at Texas State University in the field of social sciences and humanities, with research assessing mental health status and help-seeking behavior of students, thereby proposing solutions to provide professional assistance and solve mental health problems.
Workshops, conferences, and academic exchanges at the University of Texas help Dr. Bui Thi Thanh Dieu have more opportunities to conduct research, publish international scientific publications (WoS/Scopus) and experience and connect with international academic networks interested in current issues in school education. The doctor hopes that the results achieved will contribute to promoting the formation of a system to support mental health improvement in Vietnam in the near future.
International students with a desire for innovation and creativity
Following the flow of academic exchange with foreign countries, Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communications Technology (VKU) - University of Danang has proactively connected with new Korean partners, Hanwha Life Group and ChildFund (CFK). The school has selected 20 outstanding students to participate in the "2024 Korean Invitational Program".
The school's principal, Associate Professor, Dr. Huynh Cong Phap, said that this program is a milestone in the strategy of promoting integration and student exchange of VKU in particular and Danang University in general, especially for key industries that the school is striving to pioneer such as Semiconductor Microchips, Financial Technology (Fintech)...
The practical support from Hanwha Life and CFK provides opportunities for VKU students to visit, experience and learn from experts from prestigious universities and enterprises in Korea. The program creates a highlight in the effort to seek and train young talents in industries with strong development needs in Vietnam today, such as Information Technology and Financial Technology, for which VKU has signed a cooperation agreement with Hanwha Life, CFK and Daehong.
One of the outstanding activities of the Program is the development of AI application ideas in Fintech and Healthcare (Idealthon – AI Applied in Fintech and Healthcare) for 4 groups of VKU students. According to the representative of the Organizing Committee of the Korean partner, the projects of Danang University students have demonstrated their potential and creative thinking when proposing new and feasible ideas and solutions to solve practical problems.
Accordingly, the “SmartF” project solves the problem of smart consumption among young people; the “One for Life” project monitors and consults to support and improve healthy living habits; the “MindMate” project provides smart solutions for mental and psychological health care; the “SymAI” project builds an application to support smart disease diagnosis, etc.
In recent years, the international academic exchange and collaboration activities for integration and sustainable development of Danang University have flourished and moved positively. Thereby, not only have they provided opportunities for lecturers and students of Danang University to experience, exchange, and develop expertise at the international level, but they have also helped to enhance research capacity, contribute to solving scientific and practical problems, contribute to enhancing the international reputation of the school, and promote the internationalization of university education...
