Professor Dang Luong Mo's coffin was buried at Binh Duong Cemetery.

Dr. Tong Thanh Nhan, Vice Principal of Cao Thang Technical College (District 1), emotionally recalled: "I was lucky to be accepted as a student by Mr. Mo to guide me in my master's thesis in 2003. Along with me, there were 3 other people who were guided by him. Up to now, the whole group has followed the path of research, teaching and has a doctorate degree."

During the process of being mentored by Professor Dang Luong Mo, Dr. Nhan not only acquired extensive professional knowledge in the field of semiconductors but also learned invaluable lessons about vision and development orientation.

"He is a world- famous scientist in the field of semiconductors. Therefore, we feel a lot of pressure when he guides us and this is also the motivation for each person to focus on the topic. For us, each session with him brings valuable lessons, very valuable in academics, in vision and future development orientation" - Dr. Nhan shared.

Professor Dang Luong Mo was the first Vietnamese person to be awarded the title of professor by Japan in 1983. He has published more than 300 research works and owns 13 patents recognized in developed countries.

According to Dr. Nhan, in 2023, in the atmosphere and determination of the whole country towards the development of the semiconductor industry, Cao Thang Technical College is very eager to participate in training college-level human resources in the field of semiconductors. However, this is a very new field for Vietnam and also very new for the school.

"At that time, Dr. Le Dinh Kha, the school principal, and I went to see Mr. Mo. He shared with us his experiences in training and production, and valuable advice on the direction and ways to train college-level human resources in the semiconductor field," Dr. Nhan recalled.
