I am a landscape ecologist and senior lecturer at Dong Thap University (DThU) with around 20 years of experience in physical geography, landscape ecology, and land management research and teaching. I studied in landscape ecology at the University of Münster (Germany) and has over 15 years of experience applying GIS and remote sensing to environmental monitoring and decision support in land and natural resources management across the Mekong Delta. My work focuses on land-use/land-cover (LULC) change monitoring and its drivers and effects, carbon storage, ecosystem services and spatial data integration for sustainable planning. I contributed to the SASCHA project (German–Russian collaboration funded by BMBF) and has led or contributed to numerous institutional and ministerial-level research projects in Viet Nam. I also contributes as an researcher to the GreenEdAsia Erasmus+ CBHE project at DThU.
