An-Giang Nguyen

I prefer to be called by my first name, Giang
My MBTI is Introverted - iNtuitive - Thinking - Judging (INTJ).

I got a Ph.D. degree from Materials Electrochemistry Laboratory, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Chonnam National University - South Korea in 2023. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

In late 2023, I wrote a research proposal with my supervisor, which was then granted $1.08M over 5 years by the National Research Foundation of Korea in the context that the South Korea government substantially reduced funding for R&D.

I am currently looking for a postdoctoral position in the field of secondary batteries.
