  • Partners: Portsmouth University (UK), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China), and HUST
  • Duration: 04/2021 - 12/2025
  • Brief Introduction: The MOSE platform will offer three inter-connected target outcomes:
    • A mobile app – We shall carry out a review of the research skill development curricula and the current online resources available in the partner institutions and elsewhere in the internet. This will allow us to develop the “microlearning” content addressing the specific needs of students. Cloud-based technologies will be employed to interact with apps which can be installed in Android as well as Apple IOS phones. We will examine the technical specifications of the proposed app to ensure accessibility. 
      We shall employ various strategies to promote student engagement, such as push notifications, gamification, and interactive activities such as quizzes. We shall include features to promote active, peer learning, connecting students from different countries to work together. The aim is to promote their transferable skills (communications and teamwork), developing them as global citizens and enhancing their employability. In addition, we shall embed a search engine in the app to allow the students to look for learning and research resources (e.g. research articles in repositories, computing codes) which can accelerate their research.
      A mobile learning authoring tool (e.g. EdApp - edapp.com) will be employed to develop the app. This will minimise the programming effort, and allow us to focus on the pedagogic development. We shall also employ the learning management system (LMS) of the authoring tool to manage the app content and monitor the analytics and tracking of usage and engagement.
    • A virtual training hub – We shall develop the research supervision and digital skills of academics and early career researchers. This will be achieved by online workshops, to be delivered by senior academics and invited guests. The training provided by the hub will help academics develop learning materials for the mobile app.
    • A collaborative network – We shall develop a network of academics and early career researchers through a discussion forum and the peer interface of the mobile app. Through this network, we will promote joint student project supervision, grant applications and staff/student exchange. The network will also offer a virtual mentorship scheme which allows early career researchers to be paired with senior academics to develop supervision and teaching skills.
UK | GCRF - Multi-disciplinary network platform to assess value chain opportunity for plant-based protein by upcycling food wastes and improving food safety

 

  • Partners: NRI-University of Greenwich (UK), Royal University of Agriculture (Cambodia), Loikaw University (Myanmar), HUST, and other industrial organizations
  • Duration: 01/2021 - 12/2022
  • Brief Introduction: Evolving food demands require sustainable protein sources having minimal environmental impact and health benefits. Minimizing losses and contamination across the agri-food value chain should be considered in tandem to enhance resource efficiency and understand trade-offs. Regionally, rice and maize are primary sources of calories and contribute to the protein uptake but remains a major exposure route of Arsenic and other trace contaminants in Vietnam and associated countries in SE Asia. Moreover, there are considerable loss and waste across rice and maize value chains in this region contributing to the inefficient use of resources. 
    The proposed network will support interdisciplinary collaboration between UK and Vietnam to (a) improve the resource efficiency by obtaining protein-rich fraction from rice and maize wastes and loss and (b) minimize soil/water contamination to prevent the uptake of Arsenic to deliver product safety. In tandem, detailed LCA based modeling will identify the key value chain complexity. Thus, upcycling rice and maize waste including reduction of Arsenic contamination can maximize value of renewable protein thereby further improve eco-efficiency and resilience. Price wise, proteins containing side-streams/by-products are 10-20x less compared to the corresponding market value of proteins concentrate/isolates. So, suitable biorefinery approaches for protein/bioactive isolation from the renewable biomass streams seems to be a commercially viable option. Value chain analysis and novel technology scouting will shape zero-waste valorization strategy to produce plant protein from by-products. This will deliver both high value food (from edible portion) and non-food (e.g. bioplastics, biopesticides, soil amendments, etc. from inedible portion) applications.

 

UK | GCRF - CATALYST: Transforming resilience across water and food systems
 
  • Partners: Cardiff University (UK), HUST and other Brazilian, Eastern countries
  • Duration: 12/2020 - 08/2021
  • Brief Introduction: 
    • Evidence of the mounting cost of the Anthropocene surrounds us. Recent estimates suggest that one-fifth of countries across the world are at risk of ecosystem collapse owing to the destruction of wildlife and habitats. The wider implications and costs of ecosystem degradation has also been brought into stark relief by the global Covid-19 pandemic. Yet many populations still lack access to basic services, such as water, with social, economic and environmental implications. CATALYST is an ambitious, short-duration, project that is intended to advance understanding and capabilities across the nexus of water-food and resilience.
    • Our vision is to strengthen the capacity for impactful research which promotes the resilience of societies in LMICs to positively navigate major systemic shocks. Through our focus on water and food systems we aim to actively build knowledge that stimulates novel solutions to delivering Sustainable Development Goals at scale. CATALYST lays the foundations for a credible and respected global network of closely-integrated institutions working towards shared ambitions.
    • Our principal objective is to addresses key socio-economic and environmental challenges in (urban) water management and the interconnection of human, animal and environmental health and wellbeing. Led by local partners, CATALYST focuses initially on research in Brazil, Eastern Africa and Vietnam, addressing identified local needs. In doing so CATALYST contributes to the UK’s GCRF priority areas of clean air, water and sanitation (Equitable Access to Sustainable Development), resilience and action on short-term and long-term environmental change and sustainable cities and communities (both Sustainable Economies and Societies). CATALYST also contributes to a number of the Sustainable Development Goals, most notably SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) andSDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Our secondary objective is to develop an international inter-disciplinary community focused on socio-environmental resilience and we welcome those who wish to engage with our work. Finally, we are looking to boost the capacity of those involved in CATALYST to contribute to future research agendas through supporting their ability to engage in substantive collaborative research projects

US | Doping of 1D and 2D materials towards nanoelectronic and gas sensing devices: understanding the fundamental properties towards application in environmental monitoring and exhaled breath
 
  • Principal investigator: Prof. Nguyen Duc Hoa, School of Materials Science and Engineering, HUST
  • Funding body: ASIAN OFFICE OF AEROSPACE R&D
  • Duration: 09/2022 - 09/2025
  • Brief Introduction: Doping of materials alter their electronic structures, physical and optical properties, as well as gaseous adsorption capability, thus enabling the new nanoelectronic and gas nanosensor devices. Here, we target to the controlled synthesis and doping of one-dimensional (1D) metal oxides (WO3, SnO2, ZnO), and two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to explain the role of doping elements to the fundamental properties of the host materials. Doping of 1D and 2D materials with various noble metal elements will be carried out by ion implantation method and/or in-situ doping during synthesis of materials. We will combine the experimental studies and the theoretical calculation via density functional theory (DFT) for understanding the materials phenomena, where the effects of dopants are emphasized. The 1D and 2D materials will be prepared with controlled synthesis pathways by means of chemical vapor deposition, electrospinning, hydrothermal methods, and/or mechanical exfoliation. The 1D and 2D materials will be implanted/doped with different ions
    (e.g. Co2+, Ni2+, Pt2+, Pd2+, Ag+, etc.) by means of the 5SDH-2 Pelletron accelerator or in-situ growth doping method. Physicochemical and gas sensing properties of the implanted materials will be studied for understanding the new fundamental characteristics and gas sensing mechanisms. We hypothesize that the new phenomena of doped materials enable the fabrication of high-performance gas nanosensors with small size, low power consumption, low gas detection limit, high sensitivity, and high selectivity based on novel design of implanted 1D and 2D materials will be achieved to open a new strategic application in environmental monitoring and exhaled breath analysis.
US | Decentralised water resource circulation as a sustainable solution for plantation
 
  • Principal investigator: Assoc. Prof. Hoang Thi Thu Huong, School of Chemistry and Life Sciences, HUST
  • Funding body: USAID
  • Partner(s): Purdue University and HUST
  • Duration: 2021-2023
  • Brief Introduction: Surface water quality in Vietnam faces direct degradation. Domestic wastewater accounts for a large proportion of the total generates among pollutants discharged into the environment. However, only a small part of domestic wastewater is being been collected and treated correctly. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that do not locate in the Industrial zone or urban area face difficulty facilitating advanced wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) to treat municipal wastewater to meet acceptable standards. Schools, educational, and other social services usually operate without WWTP except for simple septic tanks.
    The project "Decentralised water resource circulation as a sustainable solution for plantation" is proposed by the team from the Hanoi University of Science and Technology, aiming to develop practices that promote Decentralized water circulation to reuse water and nutrients in domestic wastewater to support greenifying local area without excessively exploiting the local natural resource. Effective measures and practices can conceivably change local water usage in different communities.
    Results of the project
    • 01 model of domestic wastewater collection and treatment for a garment company that can be transferred according to the actual number of workers, providing water and nutrients for plants on the premises. The goal is to reduce clean water consumption, reduce emissions into receiving water bodies, and recover nutrients for use in plants.
    • 01 model of domestic wastewater collection and treatment for an educational institution. The treatment system combines with water reuse to serve watering trees and combines the design of an educational model on saving/reusing/protecting water resources and protecting biodiversity for students. .
    • 02 sets of documents guiding the treatment and reuse of domestic wastewater in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and educational institutions. Establish training courses for small and medium enterprises and the educational community to disseminate the concept of circular wastewater reuse.
    • Implement promotional campaigns through mass media, scientific publications and participate in policy dialogue to promote a circular approach to water resources with a decentralized model.

AUN/SEED-Net | Concept development for an affordable air disinfection device for inactivating pathogenic viral aerosols used in highly occupied areas such as meeting room, classroom, hospita
 
  • Principal investigator: Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Minh Tan, School of Chemistry and Life Sciences, HUST
  • Funding body: AUN/SEED-Net
  • Duration: 02020 - 2022
  • Brief Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in December 2019 and then characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Human-to-human transmission of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) occurs via droplets (by direct or indirect contact), and viral droplets can survive on various surfaces for at least 3 hours. Given the rapid spread of the disease, including through asymptomatic carriers, it is of clear importance to explore practical mitigation technologies that can inactivate the airborne virus in public locations and thus limit airborne transmission.

    We propose a new disinfection device, which uses high-intensity UV radiation to irradiate the circulating air inside the device to achieve the purpose of air disinfection with the coexistence of human and the disinfection device. Besides, the disinfection device should also achieve high disinfection efficiency in high humid climates like subtropical and tropical regions characterized by high relative humidity all year round (70% to 90%).The deployment of the novel air disinfection device stands to have an intense impact on both essential workers and the general public in the current COVID-19 pandemic, as well as reducing the risk of exposure to other airborne highly infectious agents, both known and unknown. This innovation will (a) improve the safety for frontline workers in essential industries by minimizing the risk of COVID-19 exposure, (b) make it possible for nonessential workers to safely return to public workspaces by reducing their risk of exposure, and (c) allow for the general public to more safely re-engage with their communities. It would enable resilience in the battle against COVID-19, in which the front lines are everywhere and rapidly changing because it can reduce the risk of indoor COVID-19 transmission and help us to approach the new normal life and will be therefore a useful addition in the armamentarium of technologies available to combat future pandemics
AUN/SEED-Net | Research and Development a ventilator that uses indirect air pump technology for COVID patient health care
 
  • Principal investigator: Assoc. Prof. Phan Anh Tuan, School of Mechanical Engineering, HUST
  • Funding body: AUN/SEED-Net
  • Duration: 2020 - 2022
  • Brief Introduction: The limited supply of ventilators is one of the chief concerns facing hospitals as they prepare for more COVID-19 cases in the world. In March 2019, in Italy, where hospitals have been overwhelmed with patients in respiratory failure, doctors have had to make difficult
    life-or-death decisions about who gets a ventilator and who does not. In the U.S., emergency plans developed by states for a shortage of ventilators include using positive airway pressure machines - like those used to treat sleep apnea - to help hospitalized people with less severe breathing issues. In other countries, such as UK, Spain, Japan, etc. during the COVID-19 health care, ventilators are not enough.
    During the mission to deal with the COVID-19 in Vietnam, the principle investigator and his research group at Hanoi University of Science and Technology had designed and created a ventilator under a BK-Vent university project within 1 month in March, 2020. The ventilator
    uses an AMBU during operating. Below is the link of our first ventilator prototype. 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_piKgxBlzs
    The second prototype is upgraded without using the AMBU. The ventilator will use indirect flow from an air pump.
