Dette forsker jeg på

I am a materials physicist investigating point defects in semiconductors and the adsorption properties of porous materials for energy applications. My research combines first-principles simulations with experimental collaborations to understand and engineer materials at the atomic scale with the goal of enabling more sustainable energy technologies.

Akademisk bakgrunn

I earned my Ph.D. in Computational Materials Science (magna cum laude) from the University of Bremen, Germany, in 2019, following my M.Sc. in Physics Engineering and B.Sc. in Physics Teacher Education from Can Tho University, Vietnam. My doctoral research focused on defect physics in wide-bandgap semiconductors, combining hybrid functional theory with experimental electron paramagnetic resonance studies. After a postdoctoral position at ZARM, University of Bremen, I returned to Vietnam as a Lecturer at Can Tho University of Technology (2020–2022), where I developed and taught undergraduate physics courses and supervised student theses. Since 2022, I have been a tenured researcher at the University of Stavanger, Norway, continuing my work on computational design of energy materials, defect engineering, and porous materials for gas capture.
