Attending the seminar, from HUMG were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoai Nga, Head of the International office; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Duc Tho, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Civil engineering; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Thi Duyen, Deputy Director of the Center for Excellence in analysis and experiment, along with faculty members and students. Distinguished guests included Mr. Le Thanh Dat from Anton Paar Vietnam; M.Sc. Nguyen Hoang Le, Head of Application office at HTI Scientific; Mr. Chau Thanh Dat, Sales manager, SEA and ANZ Region, Bruker AXS; Ms. Le Khanh Chi from LMS Technologies; as well as experts and participants from both domestic and international institutions.
In her opening remarks, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoai Nga emphasized the critical role of advanced analytical techniques in materials research and development. Against the growing demand for green and high-performance materials, these techniques play a vital role in enhancing research efficiency and enabling practical applications. The Technical Seminar was expected to strengthen connections between academia and industry, contributing to green growth and sustainable development.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoai Nga delivered the opening remarks
The Technical Seminar featured both academic presentations from HUMG and application-oriented reports from industry, all centred on the development of green and high-performance materials.
Hanoi University of Mining and Geology contributed three presentations focusing on activated carbon derived from bamboo biomass, ultra-high-performance concrete, and green nanocomposite materials with photocatalytic activity. These research directions reflect the University’s strengths in materials science, developed through interdisciplinary approaches and demonstrating strong potential for environmental applications and sustainable material development.
The presentations went beyond reporting research results, providing in-depth analysis of the relationships between material structure, properties, and performance through modern analytical techniques. This approach is essential for material design, optimization, and quality control, particularly for advanced materials with complex structures and high-performance requirements.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Xuan Nui, Faculty of Petroleum and Energy, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, delivered his presentation
In addition to academic contributions, industry partners introduced advanced analytical solutions serving both research and production, ranging from systems for studying biodegradable materials to structural and thermal analysis technologies. These solutions demonstrated strong applicability in both research and industrial production, facilitating the effective transfer of scientific outcomes into practice.
An overview of the Technical seminar
The Technical Seminar reaffirmed the important role of analytical technologies in materials research and application, while highlighting their significance as a foundation shaping future material development. In the context of the global transition towards sustainable materials and circular economy, such interdisciplinary research and industry collaboration highlight HUMG’s growing role in advancing applied materials science in emerging economies. Through this event, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology further affirmed its role as a strategic bridge between academic research and industrial practice, contributing to innovation and opening new pathways for material development in response to the growing demands of green transition and sustainable development.
