I conducted my PhD project at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, Leipzig, Germany. My Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry (Dr. rer. nat.) has been awarded by the Leipzig University. My PhD topic relates to the valorization of agro-wastes and focuses on the potentials to use biocalorimetry as a valuable tool for the non-invasive real-time monitoring of fungal activities during colonization of solid lignocellulosic substrates (supervised by Dr. Dietmar Schlosser, Prof. Dr. Thomas Maskow, and Prof. Dr. Hauke Harms). Additionally, useful parameters aiding fungal ecology research have been investigated. I also spent two months as a guest PhD student in the group of Prof. Dr. Andreas Paul Loibner (the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Tulln, Austria) with a focus on the bioremediation of PAHs contaminated soil. Besides research activities, I received training through two certificate programs including “Leadership in Industry and Society” and "Helmholtz Interdisciplinary GRADuate School for Environmental Research (HIGRADE)" offered by the Graduate Academy of Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the UFZ Leipzig, respectively.
Before becoming a PhD Candidate, I graduated from the Master program of Environmental Science – Soil, Water, Biodiversity (EnvEuro) in which I studied in two universities in Europe – BOKU, Vienna, Austria and the University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany. My Master thesis, entitled “Development of mid-infrared spectroscopy based soil microbial pool partition indexes for soil organic carbon turnover models”, aims at solving the challenge of partitioning the soil microbial biomass pools in the frequently used DAISY model (see more about my Master thesis here).
I hold a Bachelor degree in Environmental Engineering from the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, the National University of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
