Van Thi Thanh Ho’s mission to build up sustainable chemistry in Vietnam

For Vietnamese professor Van Thi Thanh Ho, the transition to green technology ‘is not an option, it’s a necessity’.

The researcher has made a name for herself in sustainable chemistry since first filing a patent for a new hydrogen fuel cell catalyst developed during her PhD. Today she is setting her sights on commercialisation, while also giving back to her country by training up the next generation of scientists working in green energy.
