Le Thanh Tai (born 2003) is a student majoring in Materials and Energy, the Vietnam - France High Quality Engineering program. With a GPA of 9.2 and many research achievements, Tai won the valedictorian title of the school, and also won the All-Around Cup for the best student.
The 36 certificates of merit that Tai brought to the stage are just a small part of the series of achievements that the male student has achieved during his 5 years of studying at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology.

Amidst thunderous applause, Tai proudly called the certificates his “tangible treasures” alongside his “invisible treasures” of knowledge, relationships and student memories.
“I firmly believe that all the new graduates here have their own treasures. This is truly a source of luggage and capital that will always generate exponential profits in the future, helping us to always develop and create positive values for society,” Tai said.
Sharing his passion for research, Le Thanh Tai said that since he was a child, he loved toy robots and always tried to take apart each part to see how it worked inside, then patiently reassemble it.
That habit followed Tai growing up. In any problem, the male student was always enthusiastic and tried to find the core, from a calculation, a law to the mechanical models in the book.
In his first year at university, Le Thanh Tai proactively asked teachers to come to the laboratory to support research, access experimental topics and accumulate skills.

Outside of class, the student tries to learn by himself by reading original documents and constantly experimenting. Through each trial and error, Tai asks questions and tries to solve the problem before seeking support.
With a large amount of knowledge to acquire, Le Thanh Tai meticulously plans his studies by week, allocating class time, lab time, self-study time and systematically notes all experiments in his notebook for easy reference and review.
Thanks to his discipline, Tai was able to participate in many important research projects. He won first prize in school-level scientific research with a model of an artificial island that supports oxygen for corals; and went on internships and research exchanges in 8 countries.
Notably, during his internship at National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (China), Tai completed a high-quality international scientific article in just two months - a time that "even a lecturer would find difficult to do", according to Dr. Vu Anh Quang, who directly supervised Tai's master's thesis.
Mr. Quang commented that the male student was the most outstanding student in the 10 years he taught the major. Not only Mr. Quang, in the eyes of many people, Tai is described as a good thinker, serious about research, and very active.
In addition to studying, the male student is also the head of the faculty's Music Club, won many scholarships and supported himself financially by teaching math to international students.
In his graduation speech, Tai affirmed that this achievement was not only the result of personal efforts but also the strong support from the school, teachers and parents.

“Step on your parents’ sweat to go where they have never gone. Use your parents’ money to learn things they have never learned”, that is the mindset that the new valedictorian always carries with him on his journey of study and research.
Le Thanh Tai will continue his academic path by going to France to study for a doctorate at the University of Bordeaux. The male student does not have to go through a master's degree because the Vietnam - France High Quality Engineering program is recognized as equivalent.
“My long-term goal is to become a researcher contributing to clean energy technologies and advanced materials, thereby bringing practical values to the community and to the Materials Science industry in Vietnam,” Tai shared.
