The State Professor Title Council recently held its 10th session to consider the grant of the title of professor, associate professor in 2012.
After evaluation and the secret ballot, 41 qualified candidates were recognized as professors and 426 candidates satisfied the standard for the associate professor title.
There are two candidates who are proposed to be exceptionally recognized as professor and associate professor.
The two scientists who are exceptionally considered are Phung Ho Hai, Deputy Director of the Institute of Mathematics, 42, who is considered for the exceptional title of professor and Pham Huu Anh Ngoc, a lecturer from the HCM City International University, who is considered with the title of associate professor.
Professor Tran Van Nhung, Secretary General of the State Professor Title Council, said the Council has made a report to the Prime Minister about the proposal for exceptional recognition of a professor and an associate professor.
Nhung said, Associate Professor Phung Ho Hai is young mathematician, who has many research works published in prestigious international scientific journal in the world. He was invited to work at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste (Italy), Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn (Germany) and the Institute of Sciences in Mathematics in Berkeley (USA).
Hai was awarded the Baedeker Award for outstanding scientific doctoral thesis of Germany in 2005, the Von Kaven Award of the DFG Foundation (Germany) in 2006, the Heisenberg Fellowship in 2005-2010, elected by the Third World Science Academy (TWAS) as young academician, representing East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific for the 2009-2013 term.
Associate Professor Hai used to be a lecturer at the University of Essen (Germany) for years, but he mostly spent time teaching at the Institute of Mathematics and many other universities in Vietnam.
He is the Deputy General Secretary of the Vietnamese Mathematical Society, deputy editor of the Acta Math Vietnamica journal, and Deputy Director of the Institute of Mathematics from July 2012.
"Though he can work and live abroad with high wages and remuneration, Ass. Prof. Phung Ho Hai is determined to work and live in Vietnam. So, though he does not meet a number of criteria to be granted with the professor title but the Council and scientists highly appreciate him,” Nhung said.
Dr. Pham Huu Anh Ngoc has outstanding scientific research achievements, with 45 scientific articles published on specialized journals, including 30 articles published on SCI and SCI-E (leading scientific journals in the world). He received the Humboldt Fellowship of Germany - a prestigious scholarship for promising young scientists (less than 40 years old).
