South China Sea

Skilled researcher on water resources and environmental management, aquaculture technique, freshwater algal identification and toxicity, and environmental monitoring. Particularly, strong background in the field of Ecotoxicology, focusing on toxicity of heavy metals and its effects on physiological condition in freshwater organisms. I've completed a Master of Science in aquaculture in 2001 and a Dr. degree in Environmental chemistry and Ecotoxicology in November 2008. Currently, I am working in the field of Environmental sciences, Medical geology as well as Geochemistry and Ecotoxicology at Vietnam Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources (VIGMR), Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, Vietnam.
I am also guest lecturer at the Hanoi University of Sciences, Vietnam National University (VNU) and Hanoi Open University (HOU), and experience in group facilitation.
I am always seeking new professional challenges in research and education in the fields of Environmental protection, Aquatic environment and Ecotoxicology, Natural resource management, Waste management, Disaster mitigation and adaptation, etc.
