I am currently an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow at the University of Bristol. I hold a BSc and an MSc in Chemical Engineering (2009 and 2012, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Vietnam), an MRes in Sustainable Chemical Technologies (2015, University of Bath, UK) and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (2019, University of Bristol, UK). I am working on the synthesis and characterisation of porous materials (metal-organic frameworks, zeolites and functional silicas) to address challenges in sustainable development (catalysis, gas separation and energy storage).
