Assoc. Thiem is a senior research fellow at the Korea Institute of Astronomy and Space Science (KASI) and an Associate Professor at Korea University of Science and Technology. He received his doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA in 2012, then was awarded the post-doctoral research award from the Canadian Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics and the Humboldt Foundation (Germany). His main research direction is on dust and magnetic fields in the universe, to shed light on the origin of stars, planets and the existence of life in the universe.
Professor Abraham (Avi) Loeb, an astrophysicist at Harvard University (USA) once assessed that Assoc. Thiem was the first to demonstrate the serious damage of a speeding spacecraft by collisions with gas and dust. in the interstellar environment, and proposed an optimal design to protect the spacecraft. In addition to his work on the orientation of dust particles in the universe, he also worked on pioneering theoretical calculations for interstellar travel using radiation pressure. This is a new research direction but holds great promise for the future.
In the past year, Assoc. Thiem and two scientists, Dr. Nguyen Trong Hien (NASA, USA, team leader) and Dr. Nguyen Luong Quang (American University, in Paris, France) established the Astrophysics Group (SAGI) with the desire to contribute contribute to the development of astrophysics in Vietnam. The group operates under the management of IFIRSE Institute of Interdisciplinary Education and Scientific Research, affiliated to ICISE (Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh), where Prof. science
