Professors Minh Do and Le Van Quynh from the College of Engineering and Computer Science at VinUniversity have won research awards totaling 9 billion VND (~380K USD) in the latest round of research funding announced by VinIF. These projects will span three years and aim to deliver concrete solutions to challenges in technology and health services relevant to Vietnam and the world.

• Professor Minh Do, along with researchers from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), University of Massachusetts, and University of Florida, will be working on a project titled: VAIPE: AI-assisted IoT-enabled smart, optimal, and Protective healthcare monitoring and supporting system for Vietnamese. The research team also includes medical practitioners from Vietnamese hospitals, and graduate and undergraduate students from both VinUni and HUST.
• The second project, led by Dr. Le Van Quynh, is titled “Perovskite MetaLEDs: a smart lighting device over conventional light-emitted diodes (LEDs) for electric vehicle’s lighting and ultra-high-resolution displays” and includes prominent researchers from Graduate University of Science and Technology (GUST), Hanoi University of Science (VNU) Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France.

Both Prof. Minh Do and Prof. Quynh highly appreciated the generous support from VinUniversity’s seed fund, which helps them to win further funding opportunities like VinIF or others to develop their initiatives at a larger scale. “The seed-funding from VinUniversity enabled us to build prototypes and collect preliminary data to win this external funding award,” said Professor Minh Do.

VinUniversity research focus is towards developing technology-enabled innovations to solve challenging real-world problems, in order to create positive effects on the economic and social development in Vietnam and in the world. Our researchers gratefully acknowledge the support from VinIF in helping to further our mission of conducting excellent research with meaningful impact.
