It is my great honor to be one of the recipients of the award as well as the JSPS fellowship this year. These recognitions are very encouraging for me to continue my PhD study at the UoA. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Prof. PHAM Tuan Anh for his continuous guidance and supervision. I also thank all staff members of the UoA who have been helping me a lot during my study here.
