VinUnians Take Top Honors at ASEAN Data Science Explorers 2024!

We are immensely proud of team aSAP – comprising alumnus Lê Trung Kiên and student Cao Văn Trường—for their outstanding achievement in winning the regional finals of the ASEAN Data Science Explorers 2024. Competing against top talents from across the region, they have brought great pride to VinUniversity.

Their project, focusing on Ocean Acidification and Energy Insecurity, stood out for its innovation and impact. Supported by the Agile Innovation Center (AIC) at VinUniversity, the project has been selected for pilot implementation on Bích Đầm Island, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa, where 174 households are in need of reliable electricity. This initiative is part of the Green Transformation Project, led by AIC in the region.

This success is a testament to the dedication and creativity of our students, and it reflects VinUniversity’s commitment to fostering research that addresses real-world challenges. The work of team aSAP not only exemplifies the interdisciplinary nature of our educational approach but also reinforces our core values of empathy and entrepreneurship.

Their achievement contributes to the growing body of research at VinUniversity, inspiring other students to take on meaningful projects that can drive sustainable change. We believe that this project will pave the way for future research initiatives, further solidifying VinUniversity’s position as a leader in innovation and societal impact.

Once again, congratulations to Lê Trung Kiên, Cao Văn Trường, and the entire team aSAP! We look forward to seeing more groundbreaking contributions from our talented students. Keep shining and making a difference!
