As one of 40 talented candidates who passed many international interview rounds, Tran Hoang Quan was fortunate to be selected to participate in the Tokyo Internship program. This is a fully sponsored program, from visa costs to living expenses and travel expenses in Japan.
During his internship at Yamashita Densou Company, a company operating in the electronics field, Quan had the opportunity to experience a professional working environment. The company's main business is to produce solar cell quality testing equipment and semiconductor material defect detection equipment. All equipment is designed by the company itself, from design, electronic circuits, to the assembly process of each smallest part, to the finished product.
Here, Quan was trained in several important skills, including the use of 2D and 3D design software, direct participation in soldering electronic components onto circuit boards, and performing product quality inspection steps before the product left the factory.
The Applied Electrochemical Lab (AEC) participated in the 14th National Symposium on Solid-State Physics and Materials Science (SPMS 2025), held from November 5 to 7, 2025, at Tay Nguyen University, Dak Lak, Vietnam.
SPMS 2025 attracted more than 500 scientists, researchers, and students nationwide, creating an engaging platform to exchange scientific findings and discuss emerging trends in solid-state physics, materials science, and applied technologies. The symposium featured several thematic sessions focusing on semiconductors, photonics, energy materials, nanomaterials, corrosion protection, and computational modeling.
During the conference, the AEC team presented their latest studies on electrochemical synthesis and corrosion-resistant materials, highlighting innovative approaches in the use of functional coatings and electrochemical techniques for materials protection. The group’s presentation received positive feedback from participants, reflecting the growing relevance of electrochemical methods in interdisciplinary materials research.
By taking part in SPMS 2025, AEC continues to strengthen its scientific presence in Vietnam’s research community, while building connections with other universities and research groups working in related fields. This participation also reinforces the group’s commitment to developing advanced materials for sustainable technologies and promoting collaborative research in applied electrochemistry and materials engineering.
The Applied Electrochemical Lab (AEC) of Phenikaa University took part in the Phenikaa International Physics Conference 2025 (PIPC 2025), held from October 13 to 15, 2025, at Phenikaa University, Hanoi, Vietnam.
This year’s conference, themed “Celebrating 100 Years of Quantum Physics”, brought together over 200 scientists, lecturers, and graduate students from Vietnam and abroad. At the event, AEC presented its latest research findings in applied electrochemistry and functional materials, contributing to in-depth scientific discussions.
The participation of AEC in PIPC 2025 highlights the group’s strong research capacity and international engagement, while fostering future collaborations with leading scientists in physics and materials science.
