Congratulation!!! A catalytic Manuscript had been accepted in Catalysis Science and Technology

INOMAR researchers, Thuy Linh, Hoang Tan, and Lac Ha have just been accepted a manuscript collaborated with Dr. Truong Vu Thanh from Bach Khoa University by Catalysis Science & Technology Journal (IF = 5.773). This work describes the architectural features of Cu(II)-based MOF containing three kinds of geometrical cluster inluding 4, 5, and 6 coordinations which are useful for C-H/N-H coupling reactions. Please join us in congratulating the first paper for Linh and one more for Dr. Hoang Tan as well as the second co-corresponding author for Dr. Lac Ha.

Prof. Kawazoe visits INOMAR

Prof. Yoshiyuki Kawazoe from New Industry Creation Hatchery Center, Tohoku University, had come to visit INOMAR Center on Jun 21st.

Prof. Kawazoe presented the talk at INOMAR termed "Efficient Way of Realizing Vietnam-Japan collaboration". He then discussed with MMG group members how to do the Modelling Research Science.

He is the founder and currently the chairman of the Asian Consortium on Computational Materials Science (ACCMS) network. He has been several times at VNU-HCM attending conferences/workshops helping young VN scientists in training and accessing into the modern HPC networks in Japan. Recently, Prof. Kawazoe is an International Collaborator of INOMAR. Suprisingly, Prof. Kawazoe could play guitar as a propessional Guitarist!

We thank Prof. Kawazoe for collaborated contribution.

Thach N. Tu and Nhung T.T. Nguyen have received PhD degree

The two Ph.D. students of INOMAR, Thach N. Tu and Nhung T.T. Nguyen have received their Ph.D. degree on April 28 and May 16, 2017 accordingly. They are the first PhD students graduated from MANAR Ph.D. Program with the research centered on synthesis and application of Metal-Organic frameworks.

Both young scientists have succeeded to publish several peer review papers in high impact factor journals: Thach is the first author of the two papers in Catalysis Science and Technology (IF = 5.287) and Journal of Materials Chemistry A (IF = 8.262); Nhung is also the first author of 3 papers, in J. Am. Chem. Soc. (IF=12.113), in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed (IF=11.261) and in Inorg. Chem. (IF=4.82).

During the PhD course at INOMAR Thach and Nhung spent a year at the Lab of Prof. Omar Yaghi in UC Berkeley where they had a great chance to learn how to carry out world class science.

Dr. Thach now is the group leader of research group for Synthesis and Applications of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Sustainable Energy Conversion at INOMAR while Dr. Nhung currently works as a lecturer in Chemistry at the Can Tho University.

With their well-trained skill, we believed that Thach and Nhung will perform their career well in the new research position.

Please join us to congratulate Thach and Nhung!

Congratulation!!! Linh and Tien got Master Degree!

On Wed, May 16 2017, the diploma ceremony was took place at University of Science. Linh and Tien, two research assistants in INOMAR, got their Master Degree.

Congrats Linh and Tien!
