Mr. Nguyen Duy Duy has experienced education in three continents when he graduated with honors from university in Russia, earned a Master's degree in the US and received a PhD in Australia with the award for best doctoral thesis.
Currently, Mr. Duy works at the Water Security Program, Environmental Research Institute of the Australian National Research Institute (Australian Federal Scientific and Industrial Research Organization - CSIRO).

Recently, Mr. Duy became one of 1 outstanding young scientists awarded an award from the Australian Academy of Science (SIEF) funding fund for scientists in Australia in the field of science and industry.
SIEF is an award with a history of nearly 100 years, for scientists who have contributed to Australian industry, while promoting the public interest and contributing to Australia's national goals.
The above award not only brings a lot of economic support in the scientific research process, but also gives Mr. Duy, along with other scientists on the honored list, the opportunity to interact and discuss. along with more than 45 Nobel Prize winning scientists and nearly 600 other young scientists around the world this coming July in Lindau City, Germany.

7 pages of achievements and 5 most outstanding scientific articles
To be considered for the award, Mr. Duy must prepare many documents to introduce himself and his scientific research projects from August 8.
Documents that need to be prepared include: List of awards achieved since university until now; teaching and training process; 5 most typical scientific articles; license of invention; social activity projects; essays and letters of recommendation.
Mr. Duy's list of awards, about 7 pages long, includes: Full scholarships during his undergraduate, master's and doctoral studies; excellent graduation achievement from Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University (Russia); President's Scholarship from Notre Dame University (USA); Award for best doctoral thesis at the University of Sydney (Australia); awards at scientific conferences;...
Regarding the 5 requested articles, he selected articles published in leading magazines in the industry, revolving around research on models in the projects Mr. Duy is pursuing. Most are related to water quality, flow, hydraulics, etc. combined with artificial intelligence, machine learning and physics.
3 out of 5 outstanding scientific articles of Mr. Duy received many awards from published magazines such as: Featured Articles (Featured article – PV); Editor's Choice (Voted article – Reporter); Best Paper Awards (Best article – PV).
Regarding letters of recommendation, Mr. Duy has two letters of recommendation from the Scientific Director of CSIRO and the Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sydney.
After preparing the application, Mr. Duy had to go through many rounds of appraisal from CSIRO groups, faculties, schools and institutes. In each round, only 2 most suitable scientists were selected. Besides, in addition to the CSIRO institute, Australia has 140-150 large and small schools and institutes.
After a large number of submitted applications, Mr. Duy and the remaining 9 scientists were selected by the Australian Academy of Sciences to award the award along with the opportunity to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings (Germany), a meeting between scientists. Nobel Prize-winning scientists and young scientists around the world to promote scientific exchange between generations of scientists.
Opportunity to interact with 45 Nobel Prize winning scientists
It is known that out of nearly 600 young scientists attending the upcoming meeting, Mr. Duy is one of 1 scientists selected to present at the exchange.
Mr. Duy is in the process of preparing content for a 15-minute presentation at an upcoming meeting in Germany and has a special opportunity to have a private dinner with 3 Nobel Prize-winning scientists with only 10 people.
Among the scientists who won the Nobel Prize, there are 3 scientists working in Mr. Duy's field. According to Mr. Duy, the Nobel Prize in physics has often been awarded to fundamental physics. Until 2021, the scientist in thermo-hydrodynamics and climate and weather modeling was awarded the Nobel Prize.
“I want to ask scientists about a field of physics that has not been given much attention until now, how this recognition affects their future research as well as world science. in the current context of climate change," Mr. Duy said.
In addition, he also wants to give the perspective of someone from Vietnam to know the views of scientists on doing science in developing countries, and at the same time raise the issue of climate change in Vietnam. Nam comes to the world science forum.

Sharing about his future plans, the young scientist said he is pursuing a model for water quality and water resources, two hot issues in both Australia and Vietnam. Specifically, he wants to focus on solving the problem of water security under the influence of climate change.
In addition, Mr. Duy is also collaborating with a number of non-governmental organizations in Vietnam and the Australian Embassy in Vietnam to conduct a series of lectures on climate change for students and young people. shared.
In addition, he is also participating in teaching businesses and state agencies about combating climate change to improve human resources for the Mekong Delta region through gathering and discussing with experts. from America and Australia.
