changing a conventional thought into an innovation



First of all, let me introduce myself, I am Tai Nguyen Thanh and I come from Vietnam. I graduated PetroVietnam University in September 2016 with the bachelor of chemical engineer. After finishing the university course, most of Vietnamese graduates decide to seek for a job, and I am not an exception. However, I soon realized that doing research is the best fit to me after a period of time of job-finding. As a result, I decided to take a master course which relates to chemical engineer as my first step in my career of a professional researcher.

The idea of taking postgraduate course came to me after time of struggling. The struggle is about to stand against the conventional thought and to make an innovation. In the society, in which, the value of a person is entitled with social position, job and salary, the value of science knowledge gained during university time is popularly not inherited and developed. This widely accepted thought encourages me to apply for postgraduate courses relate to applied science, particularly, the master program of chemical engineer. Another factor strengthens my decision is my country's current chemical industry situation. According to my view, the development of Vietnamese chemical industry mainly bases on imported technologies. Consequently, some key technology features are kept secretly. Hence, I want to make a contribution to change this characteristic by following research way. After finishing the postgraduate course and specializing in a specific science field, I can understand key points of a technology and can even make innovation in that field by conducting experiments relate to the remaining questions.

Basing on the information that I acquired from my lecturers and university ranking assessment websites, Korea is an ideal country for the development of my research career. In the view of my lecturers, who graduated the PhD course in Korea, the study environment in this country is so competitive and under high pressure of expectation from the lecturers. These factors are the main driven forces to stimulate students to achieve the final target of the course, especially in case of fresh researchers. In addition, South Korea has an intensive focus on science which is illustrated through the diversity of postgraduate course, international researcher attraction policy and huge investment on facility for science research. This focus gives South Korea with high reputation of education with lots of universities in the top 200 of the world like Seoul National University, KAIST, POSTECH and Yonsei University. With these mentioned characteristics, I strongly believe that South Korea is a country that will help me flourish in the way of becoming a professional researcher.

South Korea has lots of prestigious universities with high raking and POSTECH is one of them. With a science and engineering focused curriculum, POSTECH has demonstrated its standing among different international universities with engineer subject ranking of 136th (US.NEW EDUCATION) and fifth position in the QS Top 50 Under 50. In addition to POSTECH's world ranking, I am greatly interested in the way your university categorizes chemical engineer into four specific fields with different research focuses. And the field of energy and environment has a huge attraction to me. Finally, according to POSTECH's course requirement, the result of dissertation research will be published in international journals of high standing. These features of POSTECH stimulate me to apply for the Master program of Chemical Engineer in POSTECH via KGSP program.

The way to become a professional researcher in chemical engineer is not smooth. It is a combination of many factors like student's effort and skill, the facility of university and the support from KGSP program. PetroVietnam University environment helped me built up not only basic knowledge related to chemical engineer, but also some characteristics which I consider suitable for the research work. The most important thing is the ability to be self-studied and be self-motivated. In addition, my personal traits like patience, determination and carefulness will be necessary in research environment. With the purpose of promoting international exchange in education, the KGSP will be the bridge to help me connect with my dream of becoming a professional researcher in energy and environment field. And finally, I strongly believe that the characteristics of Korean education and POSTECH environment will push me forward to achieve my goal.
