Prof. Dr. Tran Dai Lam - Director of the Institute of Materials Science speaks

Within the framework of cooperation with the University of Electricity, especially in the field of training semiconductor students for the Electronics - Telecommunications industry, the Institute of Materials Science will participate in contributing to a number of strong works including:

• Sharing knowledge and experience: The Institute has many scientists who are knowledgeable and trained in the field of semiconductors and some fields that the University is training, ready to participate in the teaching process, guiding PhD students, Masters and students to carry out research topics related to semiconductor materials and semiconductor technology; supporting lecturers and young staff of the University to directly participate in the research directions and laboratories of the Institute.
• Support facilities for training and scientific research: The Institute will create conditions for students of the University of Electricity to have the opportunity to practice and research in the Institute's laboratories, and access modern equipment. The University's teaching staff participating in research cooperation will have access to the Institute's research equipment.
• Promoting joint research projects: The Institute will coordinate with lecturers, young staff, PhD students and students of the University of Electricity to implement highly applicable research projects in the field of semiconductors in particular as well as in fields related to electrical engineering in which the Institute has strengths, contributing to solving practical problems of the industry.
• Promoting scientific publication: The Institute will support the school to promote international publication (both in terms of quality and quantity of published works); as well as IP registration (patents, GPHI).
