2013-2015: Master Engineering at Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh city University of Technology.

M1: Advanced Reservoir Engingeering, Reservoir Simulation, Methodology of Scientific Research, Oil and Gas Reservoir Intergrated Management, Reservoir Characterization and Analysis.

M2: Well Completion and Stimulation, Seismic Data Interpretation, Enhanced Oil Recovery, Applied Geostatistics in Petroleum Engineering. Thesis subject (6 months): “Interpretation of geophysical data to predict the distribution of facies and environment of sediment sequence M-I KNT field”. The thesis have identified the facies and sedimentary environment of BI.I sequence KNT field by synthesis and interpretation data from mud log, well logging, seismic and biostratigraphy to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential in this study area.

2008-2013: Bachelor degree in Petroleum Geology Engineering at Vietnam National University, University Ho Chi Minh city University of Technology. completed 158 credits and graduated with degree “good” . In this program, I studied many subject related geology and geophysics.

The bachelor thesis title is “Interpretation of well test in Thien Long gas well, Cuu Long Basin”. I have used “Ecrin” software to interpret the well test data and evaluate the oil potential and quality of geological formation. The parameters which were evaluated are permeability, transmission and boundary of reservoir, damaged of formation near the borehole after that giving some solution to enhance the quality of formation.

PAST AND CURRENT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

2015-2018: The aim of my research with the faculty team was to study issues related to petroleum using geophysical methods. The objective was to locate a reservoir, estimate its quality and quantity, and reserve. Besides, research is to give relevant parameters for shallow subsurface in order to assess the quality of soil for construction.

2019 to present: Since the Faculty of Geology is now concerned by groundwater issues, I focus my research activities on the resistivity of rock which plays an important role in the shallow subsurface investigation. This parameter can be used to evaluate the quality of the groundwater reservoir, determine the boundary of seawater instruction in the coastal area. For this, I started to use several geophysics techniques: Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Time Domain Electromagnetic soundings (TDEM), and well logging.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND MOBILITIES

2014-present: I have been a researcher at Geology Petroleum Engineering Faculty, HoChiMinh City University of Technology. I have been teaching Basic Geophysics, Seismic Interpretation and Hydrocarbon Exploration subjects in my faculty around 120hours/year. Besides, I join a project in CARE-Lab with Dr. Descloitres, Dr Tu, Dr. Phong to study groundwater using the geophysical method in the South of Vietnam.

2013 Internship in industrial environment, at CuuLong JOC during 2 months. In this time, I learned how to use Kappa software to intepret the Well test data to evaluate the quality of formation.

2015 Participation, as student, to the School on The Move ASEAN-Japan BUILD-UP Cooperative Education Program at Philippine, Indonesia, Japan. I joined classroom lectures (Geology, Geophysics, Mining, Geothermal, Mineral Processing, Environmental Engineering) duration?

Field Lecture (Garo Quarry, Mori Geothermal Power Plant, Toya Caldera and Usu Volcano Global Geopark, JAPEX Yufutsu oil and gas field, Hokkaido Eco Recycle Systems, Toyoha Mine).

2018 Participation, as student and teacher, to a Hydrogeophysics Course on ERT and TDEM methods which was organized by IGE-IRD and Care Rescif. This course was organized in 6 days: first 3 days in class room, then 2 days in the field, 1 day for field interpretation in classroom. . In field trip, I am responsibility for electrical sounding.

2019 Participation, as student and teacher, to a Hydrogeophysics Course which was organized by IGE-IRD and Care Rescif This course was organized in 5 days: first 2 days in class room, 1 day for campus activities, then 1 days in the field, 1 day for field interpretation in classroom. In this course, I take responsibility as TDEM practices guide.

2020 PhD candidate at TEU Doctoral School for Earth, Planetary and Environmental Sciences Grenoble University

Title thesis: “Evaluation of shallow aquifer resources and vulnerabilities in the South of Vietnam using geophysical resistivity methods”

Abstract: Groundwater uptakes for HCM City needs (30% of the domestic water) as well as agriculture needs in the Saigon River basin and the Mekong delta rely on shallow (0-100m) and deeper (100-300m) aquifers that are thought to be separated by inter-stratifying clay layers with no evidence of their continuity, creating a possible vulnerability to pollutants. Information is therefore required on aquifer geometry and lithology (top and bottom of aquifer including thickness and extent of the hydrostratigraphic unit). Moreover, there is no available information about the contribution of the potentially polluted top aquifer to the Saigon River. Close to the sea in the Mekong delta, saline intrusion occurs. These knowledge gaps reflect a lack of comprehensive information on groundwater resources and related recharge processes. In particular, the question arises: what are the hazards related to the main recharge zones? are they vulnerable to pollution? and how are river-aquifer and aquifer-aquifer relationships affecting water resource vulnerability? Therefore the aim of the Ph.D. project is to contribute to the aquifer knowledge by the application of integrated resistivity methods (Time and Frequency domain electromagnetic soundings, electrical resistivity tomography) (and possibly Magnetic Resonance sounding) for shallow aquifer characterization in the South of Vietnam. The fieldwork will take place in the Cu Chi region, the Mekong delta provinces, as well as an agricultural site in Cambodia.
