Viet Hung Ho

R&D Engineer at Raufoss Technology (previously a postdoc at NTNU)

What is your background?

I got B.S in Materials Science, M.S and Ph.D degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), South Korea. I researched the auxeticity of 2D materials and metamaterials using MD simulation.

What inspired you to pursue a career in a science-related field?

I want to make a positive impact on the world, and science offers me opportunities to do it. Moreover, I enjoy critical thinking and solving problems and answering questions related to science.

What is your role within the SSLiP project? How do you expect your work will contribute to your career development?

I am working on simulations of superlubric multi-contact networks using MD simulations. Our task is to understand superlubricity at the nanoscale and apply it to the microscale. Working in the SSLiP project, I have chance to collaborate with other experts and get lots of useful advice from them. It will have a positive impact on my future career.

What are the activities in your current position that you find the most interesting?

In the SSLiP project, I am collaborating with experimental groups at TCD and ECL. It is very interesting to link my theoretical work with experiment. I have lots of opportunities to discuss with them, and I can learn more about experimental works.

Do you have any advice for future professionals in this field?

This is a career for you if you have passion for continuous learning, staying updated with the latest research and technology.
