Energy and environmental issues are always two hot topics of society, requiring attention and action from the entire community. Recognizing the importance of these issues, the Sustainable Energy and Environmental Development (SEED) research group was established at USTH in December 2022, focusing on sustainable energy and environmental solutions.
List of Members
SEED consists of 09 members from various research fields, including 01 group leader and 05 core members.

Research Objectives
SEED focuses on valorizing available biomass sources (agricultural residues, urban waste, rural waste…) for purposes:
- Research and synthesize clean energy using thermal conversion technologies.
- Research and synthesize adsorbent materials (hydroxyapatite, biochar, activated carbon, hybrid materials…) for environmental treatment.
Experience and Achievements
In 2023, the SEED members achieved many notable accomplishments, including publishing over 20 research papers in prestigious scientific journals.
In addition, SEED conducted 06 research projects at the Academy level, supported 06 undergraduate and graduate students in scientific research activities. Furthermore, SEED successfully organized 01 scientific conference and 01 training workshop, contributing to enhancing writing skills and sharing experiences within the research community.
