NGUYEN PHONG THU HUYNH

• I obtained my PhD in nuclear physics from VNUHCM- University of Science (Vietnam) in 2021. Presently, I perform works of a researcher in Nuclear Technique Laboratory (NTLab) and a lecturer in VNUHCM- University of Science for a period of 10 years. My studies focus on Nuclear Physics, especially on Radiochemistry, Environmental Radioactivity, Radiation Detection, Radiation Safety and Protection.
