Research
I have 15 years experience working in molecular ecology applied to fisheries research. I am senior researcher at the Institute for Biotechnology and Environment, Nha Trang University. My research interests include evolution, phylogeny, phylogeography, biodiversity, population genetics and conservation of marine and aquatic organisms.

I am the leader of Biodiversity and Conservation group and responsible for international cooperation at the Institute for Biotechnology and Environment at Nha Trang University.

I am long time contributor to, and, now principle investigator of the National Gen Conservation Project titeled “Gen conservation of Vietnamese marine organism” (2004-2009).

Additionally, I am involved in several national and international projects such as:

1) CARD project, ACIAR support “Increase the capacity on nutrient analysis in Vietnam” 

2) NUFU Project “Aquaculture and coastal management in Vietnam”

3) Component 4, SRV2701 project “Environmental impact of Aquaculture activities to the issue of food safety of green mussels and aquatic snails in integrated farming systems”

4) EU “Parasite Risk Assessment with Integrated Tools in EU fish production value chains” (GA Number 312068) with responsibility for a case study in Vietnam

5) PEER 2-7 “Conservation Genetics for Improved Biodiversity and Resource Management in a Changing Mekong Delta”. NFS and USAID suppoted (2013 -2017).

6) PEER 3-100 “Building the Mekong river genetic biodiversity research network”.  NFS and USAID suppoted (2014 -2018).

7) PEER 6-435 “Riverscape Genetics to Inform Natural History of Exploited Fishes in the Lower Mekong River Basin”. NFS and USAID suppoted (2017 -2020)

8) Erasmus + Project “Mobility between and Czech Republic", EU supported (2015-2017)

9) NORHED ptoject “Improve training and research capacity of Nha Trang University, NORRAD  Incorporating Climate Change into Ecosystem Approaches to Fisheries and Aquaculture Management in Sri Lanka and Vietnam", NORAD supported (2014-2020)

10) APN (Asia Pacific network) Project CRRP2019-05MY-Benkendorff “Understanding the interaction of ocean acidification and marine tourism for sustainable management of coral reefs” (2019-2021)
