Nguyen Quang Minh recently joined the School of Chemical and Life Sciences at the Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), adapting to his new role as a lecturer in Chemical Engineering after returning to Vietnam in February.
He is currently focused on establishing a specialized research group in plasma technology, a field he dedicated more than five years to developing in Europe.
Minh's academic credentials include two PhDs earned through a joint program between the University of Normandie in France and AGH University of Science and Technology in Poland. He subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at the U.K.'s University of Liverpool.
Faced with the opportunity to secure permanent U.K. residency and advance his European career, Minh instead opted to return to his roots in northern Vietnam.
His motivation for leaving a thriving European career was straightforward: he no longer wanted to "build a house on someone else's land."
