Evaluation and Defense Process

Under the chairmanship of Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Văn Hùng, the defense followed the official academic procedures, including reviewing the candidate’s scientific background, training process, publications, and research achievements throughout the doctoral program.

During the defense, the candidate presented the key findings of the dissertation, focusing on the phytochemical analysis and evaluation of biological activities of Pandanus species in Vietnam. The committee engaged in in-depth academic discussions, raising questions on research methodology, results, and potential applications.

From a “Familiar Pandan Leaf” to Scientific Research with Practical Value

The dissertation explores two familiar plant species that remain under-researched.“Pandanus amaryllifolius is actually the pandan leaf we commonly use in cooking—making sticky rice, cakes, and adding color and fragrance to food.”

Building on its dual role as both a common ingredient and a traditional medicinal material, the research aims to clarify the relationship between phytochemical composition and biological activities.“I chose a subject that has practical applicability but has not been widely studied in scientific research. This represents a very promising direction.”

The research team also developed extraction techniques and optimized processes for application purposes: “We aim to create formulations with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.”

Scientifically and Practically Significant Findings

The dissertation achieved notable results, particularly in establishing correlations between phytochemical constituents and biological activities of Pandanus species.“This is not an easy research direction due to challenges in sample collection, model design, and analysis.”

Additionally, the study optimized extraction conditions to enhance applicability: “The goal is to determine optimal conditions for producing formulations through simple yet scalable processes.”

The findings not only contribute academically but also open up opportunities for utilizing domestic natural resources in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries.

A Meaningful Journey with USTH

Sharing after the defense, PhD candidate Đỗ Hoàng Giang said: “I feel very happy and a little proud to have completed this long academic journey.”

His connection with USTH began over 10 years ago while supporting students in laboratory activities. “I first learned about USTH 12 years ago… and I can say I have a special connection with this university.”

After studying abroad, he chose USTH as a rigorous academic environment to continue his research career.

Evaluation Results and Congratulations

The defense was successfully conducted, marking a dedicated and persistent research journey. After the discussion, the committee held a closed meeting and voted unanimously in favor of the dissertation (7/7 votes).

The committee highly appreciated the systematic approach, scientific significance, and application potential of the research. On behalf of the committee, the Chairman congratulated the candidate on successfully defending his doctoral dissertation and acknowledged the valuable contributions of the study to the field of biomedical biotechnology.

The research is expected to continue developing, expanding its applications, and advancing toward more specialized studies.

Acknowledgements and Message to the Next Generation

At the crossroads of Vietnam’s aspiration for transformation through science and technology and international standards, the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (USTH) continues to grow and advance strongly. From student recruitment, quality accreditation, research and innovation to the expansion of academic programs aligned with Vietnam’s development strategy, Prof. Jean-Marc Lavest, Principal Rector of USTH, shares insights into the university’s achievements and the challenges ahead. 

Could you share some of USTH’s recent major achievements?

Prof. Jean-Marc Lavest: The 2025–2026 academic year marks a particularly dynamic phase in USTH’s development, reflecting strong and comprehensive growth in many aspects. USTH’s rise to sixth place among Vietnam’s leading universities, while maintaining second position among institutions specializing in science and technology, represents not only a significant milestone but also clear evidence of the university’s transformation from a young institution into a reputable actor within Vietnam’s higher education system.

At the same time, this rapid growth brings new demands and challenges, particularly in increasing the number of enrollment while strengthening institutional structures and enhancing university governance. In 2025, USTH welcomed 1,200 new students across bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs, bringing the training scale close to 4,000. Importantly, this growth is not only quantitative but also reflects an improvement in the quality of recruitment. Approximately 70 percent of admitted students selected USTH as their first or second choice, demonstrating growing trust among students and families in the university’s academic environment.

In 2025, USTH was honored to welcome the French President Emmanuel Macron and former Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh to USTH. Their visits reaffirmed the university’s role in training high-quality human resources in science and technology while further strengthening the strategic partnership between Vietnam and France.

In an increasingly internationalized higher education landscape, USTH continues to attract students from around the world. The university hosted 150 international students, mainly from France for internships, academic exchanges, and research activities, while 120 USTH students participated in exchange programs in France and other countries. These two-way mobility initiatives are an essential part of our identity, reflecting both the quality of our training and the strength of our international partnerships.

Research remains a strategic pillar of USTH’s development. To date, the university has produced more than 1,000 publications in international scientific journals, with an annual output of 150 to 200 papers and an average research productivity of 1.4 SCIE-indexed publications per lecturers-researchers. This is an important indicator not only of scientific productivity, but also of the university’s growing international visibility.

What evaluation and accreditation approaches has USTH adopted to enhance quality? 

Prof. Jean-Marc Lavest: Quality assurance plays a central role in USTH’s development strategy. Sometimes accreditation is seen simply as to obtain a label, but for us, it brings much deeper values. It is a substantive process of being evaluated by independent and international experts, which helps us to identify our strengths and areas for improvement. 

USTH has chosen to work with HCERES, a French accreditation organization recognized in Vietnam. We have been awarded institutional accreditation by HCERES for the period 2023–2028, which means USTH meets international standards across governance, training and research. 

We aim to achieve international accreditation for all of our academic programs. Up to now eight programs have already been accredited, and we have set a target of obtaining accreditation for four new programs each year.

Accreditation is valuable in two complementary ways. First, it allows us to benchmark our activities against international standards and practices. Second, it provides concrete and actionable recommendations for improvement. This external perspective is essential, as it encourages continuous reflection, adaptation, and enhancement of our academic programs.

For this reason, accreditation is not simply a requirement for a university; we consider it a strategic governance instrument for strengthening our internal quality assurance system while reinforcing USTH’s credibility nationally and internationally. 

Could you share USTH’s development direction for the coming years?

Prof. Jean-Marc Lavest: USTH’s development has been following a consistent vision: to become a leading university in Vietnam while affirming a distinctive international identity in training and research.

USTH has been steadily consolidating its position within Vietnam’s higher education system. In 2026, the university reached sixth place among Vietnam’s leading universities.

Our next objective is to enter international rankings. Preparations are underway for participation in major global rankings, including the QS Asia University Rankings, with the ambition of being listed by the 2027–2028 academic year.

At the same time, USTH continues to expand its international network. Beyond our long-standing French collaborations, USTH is strengthening cooperation with universities and research institutes in countries with advanced scientific and technological ecosystems such as Japan, South Korea, and Germany, through double programs, joint research projects, and faculty and student exchanges.

We are also placing strong emphasis on developing academic programs aligned with Vietnam’s emerging needs. Training high-quality human resources in science and technology has been at the core of USTH’s mission since its establishment. Our academic orientation is closely linked to Vietnam’s strategic development priorities, including nuclear energy, transport and logistics, and mineral resources.

Besides, USTH continues investing in infrastructure to enhance conditions for learning, teaching, and research. In addition to our existing facilities, we have brought into operation the 2H building on the campus of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, featuring state-of-art classrooms and laboratories, as well as open co-working space for students.

2026 marks your final year as Principal Rector of USTH. What priorities will you focus on during this period?

Prof. Jean-Marc Lavest: Although I am in the final year of my mandate, my core priorities remain unchanged. The focus is not on launching new personal initiatives, but on consolidating and strengthening the ongoing directions. 

Our priorities remain clear: continuing accreditation efforts with HCERES, expanding our international partnerships, developing new academic programs, strengthening student recruitment, and building high qualified academic staff. To support our growth and further enhance academic quality, USTH continues to implement policies to attract talented academics and researchers with international teaching and research experience.

The construction of our campus in Hoa Lac High-Tech Park is currently underway and remains a strategic project for USTH’s long-term development.

For a university, every decision must be made with long-term vision, careful planning, and consistent implementation.

My priority is to ensure that USTH has a strong foundation so that it is well prepared for future challenges and can continue to enhance its position in the years ahead.

USTH signed MOU with Paris-Saclay University

How do you assess USTH’s achievements in recent years? 

Prof. Jean-Marc Lavest: What USTH has achieved today is the result of the shared commitment and collective efforts of our faculty, staff, and students. We have also benefited from the strong support of our governing body, the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, as well as from the close and longstanding cooperation between Vietnam and France.

Behind these achievements is the often quiet but tireless dedication of our faculty, researchers, and administrative and technical staff. Their commitment has laid the foundation on which USTH has grown and continues to develop.

In a university, decisions take time to show their full value and impact. What we are building together today will shape the foundation for the next stages of USTH’s development.

Ultimately, USTH’s strength does not lie only in rankings or accreditation. It lies in a shared vision and collective ambition, grounded in the partnership between Vietnam and France, to educate new generations of scientists and young professionals with expertise, a sense of responsibility, and a commitment to contributing to the country’s development.

Less than three months after the first official meeting between the two institutions, Nguyễn Bảo Minh – a third-year student in the Bachelor of Food Science and Technology (FST) program at the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (USTH) – arrived at L’École supérieure d’ingénieurs en agroalimentaire de Bretagne atlantique (the Higher School of Engineers in Atlantic Brittany Agrifood – ESIAB), part of INP Bretagne, in Brest, France. Bảo Minh is the first FST student to intern at this strategic partner – a modest but meaningful milestone in the ongoing internationalization of the FST-USTH program.

From Connection to Action

In January 2026, Prof. Patrick Hénaff – Deputy Head of International Relations at INP Bretagne – held an official online meeting with the Life Sciences Faculty leadership and USTH’s Department of Research, Innovation and External Relations, chaired by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Hải Đăng. During that session, Assoc. Prof. Hồ Văn Sơn and Dr. Phạm Hoàng Nam presented and discussed the potential for collaboration between ESIAB Brest and USTH in the field of food science and technology.

Assoc. Prof. Hồ Văn Sơn was the first INP Bretagne expert to visit USTH in person and deliver lectures to Master’s FSQA students – made possible through the introduction and coordination of Dr. Phạm Hoàng Nam. During that same visit, he participated in bilateral meetings between the two institutions and held a dedicated session with FST students, introducing ESIAB and the opportunities it offers. Bảo Minh was selected as the first FST student to make the journey to Brest for an internship. From that first encounter to an actual flight – everything unfolded in less than three months. It is clear evidence that when both sides share genuine commitment, the distance from connection to action can be remarkably short.

At ESIAB Brest

Located in the port city of Brest – one of Brittany’s leading centers of science and technology – ESIAB is one of France’s most respected institutions for food engineering training, built on a philosophy that deeply integrates research with industrial practice. It is an environment where students do not merely study science – they practice it.

At ESIAB, Bảo Minh worked under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Hồ Văn Sơn and Prof. Emmanuel Cotton – two well-known names in French food science and technology. From his very first days in the laboratory, he quickly adapted to state-of-the-art equipment, European-standard experimental protocols, and the rigorous, professional culture of working within a research team – things that can only truly be appreciated when experienced firsthand.

Bảo Minh – A Trailblazer

As the first FST student to step into an INP Bretagne laboratory, Bảo Minh represents more than his own individual journey. He represents the entire FST-USTH student body – young scientists being trained through Vietnam’s French-model academic system, with a solid scientific foundation and a genuine readiness to engage internationally. His presence at ESIAB is the most concrete and living proof that USTH students can participate and contribute meaningfully in European research environments.

A Partnership Taking Shape

Bảo Minh’s internship takes place as the INP Bretagne – USTH partnership is being built on solid legal and academic foundations. The Erasmus+ KA171 agreement between the two institutions has been signed, with planned implementation from the 2025–2026 academic year, enabling EU-funded student and staff mobility in both directions. A bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is scheduled for signing in May 2026, formally establishing the comprehensive cooperation framework covering training, research, and academic exchange.

Nguyen Bao Minh with the FUNGDEC research group at ESIAB and Assoc. Prof. Ho Van Son

Notably, the partnership with INP Bretagne does not only open a door to ESIAB Brest – it marks USTH’s first step into a broader connection with the French INP network, one of Europe’s most respected systems of engineering and applied science institutions, with significant potential for future collaboration across multiple member schools.

In the years ahead, this partnership is expected to expand into semester-based student exchanges, research internships, faculty and researcher mobility, co-supervised PhD theses, and joint research projects in food safety, fermentation technology, food microbiology, and sustainable product development.

INP Bretagne/ESIAB in France is just one of many destinations open to FST students. In fact, FST-USTH students have already worked in laboratories and training institutions in Italy, Thailand, and Taiwan, with South Korea set to become the next destination in the division’s expanding international network. Graduating with a bilingual English-French foundation and an international outlook built throughout their studies, FST-USTH alumni carry not only solid scientific knowledge, but the practical competence to thrive in international food science and industry environments.

The story of Nguyễn Bảo Minh in Brest today could be your story – in another international laboratory, somewhere else in the world – tomorrow.

The University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (USTH) organized the doctoral thesis defense for PhD candidate Nguyen Phuong Nhi, majoring in Pharmacological, Medical and Agronomical Biotechnology, with the thesis entitled: “Integration of metabolomics and antioxidant activity for the valorization of several endemic Golden Camellia species of Vietnam” (Analysis of metabolite profiles and evaluation of antioxidant activity of several endemic Golden Camellia species in Vietnam).

The thesis was supervised by Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thi Kieu Oanh (USTH) and Professor Eric Gontier (University of Picardie Jules Verne, France).

The defense was attended by a seven-member Evaluation Committee, including: Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Hung – Chairman; Prof. Dr. Marie-Genevieve Dijoux Franca – University of Lyon 1, France; Dr. Pham Tuan Anh – Hanoi University of Pharmacy; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Nguyen Thanh – National Institute of Medicinal Materials; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tien Dat – Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology; Dr. Nguyen Huu Nghi – USTH; and Dr. Tran Thi Thu Phuong – USTH (Secretary).

In response, antioxidant compounds have attracted significant attention in the fields of food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics due to their ability to neutralize free radicals, protect cells, and reduce oxidative damage. Research and application of natural antioxidants are expected to contribute to effective solutions for disease prevention, health improvement, and slowing down the aging process.

Based on this orientation, PhD candidate Nguyen Phuong Nhi presented the main contents and findings of her thesis before the Committee.

The research focuses on Golden Camellia, a valuable medicinal plant in Vietnam, aiming to analyze its metabolite profiles and evaluate antioxidant activity through an integrated and modern approach.

Motivated by an interest in medicinal plant research and the opportunity to pursue this topic, the candidate employed metabolomics an emerging research field in Vietnam to clarify the relationship between chemical composition and biological activity. The findings not only provide scientific evidence supporting the value of Golden Camellia but also open up potential applications in the fields of medicinal plants and healthcare.

The defense was successfully conducted, marking a dedicated and persistent research journey of PhD candidate Nguyen Phuong Nhi. Sharing after the defense, the candidate expressed great satisfaction that her efforts throughout the research process had been recognized and duly rewarded.
