About


I am Hao (pronounced like "how") from Vietnam and currently residing in Korea.

I am currently working a postdoctoral researcher at the Research Center for Bio-based Chemistry, Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology. I obtained the PhD degree in Advanced Materials and Chemical Engineering from the University of Science and Technology in Korea. I also had some experience with biotechnology and molecular biology during my undergraduate studies at Can Tho University in Vietnam.

My research involves the engineering of chitin, a marine biomass, at the nanoscale to develop performance-advantaged, sustainable materials. I am currently working on biomaterials for culturing tissue and bio-nanomaterial/biocolloid surface modification.

Outside of my academic pursuits, I am an avid music enthusiast. It serves as a creative outlet and a means to unwind from my research work.

Curriculum vitae



Banner photo: Crustacean shells like crab shells harbour useful chemicals —protein (20–40%), calcium carbonate (20–50%) and chitin (15–40%), a polymer similar to cellulose, but which contains nitrogen. Scientists are working out sustainable ways to refine this abundant and cheap renewable resource.
