Dr. Tran Cong-Thanh is a lecturer and Deputy Head of the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Science, VNU-HCM. He holds a PhD in Public Health from National Taiwan University. His work focuses on environmental health, particularly exposure assessment, climate-related risks, and their impacts on community health. He has led and contributed to national and international interdisciplinary projects in environmental monitoring, human exposure evaluation, and public health research. His research integrates environmental science, epidemiology, statistics, and GIS to examine how air, water, and soil pollutants affect health across diverse social and ecological settings in Vietnam. Dr. Tran’s current work emphasizes long-term, community-based research approaches to better understand cumulative environmental exposures, vulnerability, and adaptation over time. His research is closely connected to real-world contexts across urban Ho Chi Minh City, highland rural Lam Dong, and lowland rural Mekong Delta, aiming to produce evidence that is scientifically rigorous and meaningful for public health practice and policy.
