Phuong joined in the group as a master intern in April 2018 with the topic of membrane modification by nanoparticle. Since then, she has raised an interest in membrane technology and continues to work as a research assistance.
Her target is to develop efficient and economic membrane systems for water treatment that can be applied in any places. Her current main focus is pesticide and pharmaceutical residues removal from aquatic environment.
