* School of Materials trains undergraduate and graduate majors in materials manufacturing technology from source materials to smelting, casting and rolling of metals, non-ferrous alloys and heat treatment of materials surface metal; training in advanced materials and nanostructures; electronic materials science, optical materials, optoelectronics and photonics; textile technology - footwear and fashion; polymeric materials - polymeric-based composites, printing and communication techniques. Thus, it can be said that the School of Materials trains majors not only related to traditional materials but also new types of materials, meeting the human resource needs of all industrial fields.

The main research subjects of the University include: Metallic and non-metallic materials, electronic and photonic materials, composite materials, biomedical materials, energy materials, nanomaterials,... with different directions. research: Studying the physical, chemical, mechanical, ... properties of materials; Simulation of materials calculation; Computational simulation of technological processes; Research and develop advanced materials systems, smart materials, and environmentally friendly materials; Research, application and development of source technology; Research and apply high technology to life; Decoding technology, consulting technology.

With training majors and research directions, graduates can work at research institutes and higher education institutions with training and research in related fields; industrial establishments such as iron and steel, textile - garment, plastic and composite production, rubber, paint, printing, semiconductor, telecommunications, ..., and enterprises in supporting industries.

- There is an opinion that at present, there is no research that is not interdisciplinary, there is no combination of disciplines that cannot be scientifically researched and produced useful products. What do you think about this statement and what does it mean for the merger of units into the School of Materials?

* Yes, due to the rapid development of technology and the 4th industrial revolution, there is no research that is not interdisciplinary. In order to research and develop technologies and products for socio-economic development, research must be carried out along the product chain. Therefore, the merger of specialized units close to the School of Materials aims to optimize resources for effective implementation of science and technology activities and innovation, and to optimize resources for training activities.

Establishing the School of Materials, students benefit from?

- From the perspective of university leaders and university leaders, the merger of institutes and specialized centers is a restructuring work, so that the university can develop more, the field of study is more developed, is the direction of the future. …  However, from the perspective of beneficiaries who are students and businesses, with the establishment of the School of Materials, how will the students' job opportunities compare to if they were trained at other units? single before? Has the quality of training been improved to provide businesses with engineers and bachelors who can work right away and integrate right away?

* Close cooperation with businesses, especially industrial enterprises is one of the key tasks of the School of Materials in particular and Hanoi University of Science and Technology in general in order to provide human resources to meet the needs as well. such as cooperation to solve technical and technological problems arising in the process of operation.

The restructuring of a number of specialized units in Hanoi University of Science and Technology to establish the School of Materials in order to plan the use of resources (human resources, facilities, equipment for training and research). is the inevitable trend to develop Hanoi University of Science and Technology. As a result, students receive core technology training in different materials by specialty as well as broad expertise in materials and soft skills thereby expanding employment opportunities compared to training. Single. Besides, with the knowledge that has been equipped, students are fully capable of equipping themselves with knowledge after graduation to catch up with the rapid development trend of technology, especially in the context of technology development. 4th industrial revolution.

In addition, the School of Materials has many types of equipment to study different materials, qualitative and quantitative equipment, so students will have hands-on experiments on these devices. surprised when entering industrial enterprises, engineers and bachelors can work and integrate immediately.

Pioneering educational model in Vietnam, approaching the world

- The university model of Hanoi University of Science and Technology is considered by educational administrators as a pioneer in Vietnam, approaching the world. Can you tell me if there is any university in the world that offers similar training so that we can learn from experience? Nearly 2 years ago, Hanoi University of Science and Technology established 3 schools: Mechanical, Electrical - Electronics; ICT is also on the basis of merging a number of units. So did the Principal of Materials School Huynh Trung Hai find out and learn anything from the experiences of the leaders of these 3 schools? What content of their sharing are you most interested in?

* Firstly, there are many universities in the world that specialize in materials, such as:

In Japan, the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Tohoku University;

In Korea, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Seoul National University;

In  Singapore, Nanyang Technological University Singapore has established the School of Materials Science and Engineering for more than 30 years;

In China, Tsinghua University has a School of Materials Science and Engineering;

In the US, the School of Materials Science and Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA…

It can be seen that, in the world, there are many universities that train and research in materials majors, but the School of Materials of Hanoi University of Science and Technology can learn from experience in the development process in order to approach and integrate. with the region and the world.

Secondly, the School of Materials has learned many lessons from experience on the basis of the achieved results and difficulties of the 3 Schools: Mechanical, Electrical - Electronic; ICT after nearly 2 years of operation, specifically experiences in: Effective human resource planning, balancing training and research volume, promoting autonomy, always innovating and orienting and approach international standards in training and research. The lessons learned from the 3 Schools established in advance are very valuable to me in the process of building and developing the Materials School in the near future.

Visualize the School of Materials in the next 3-5 years

- As the first Principal of the School of Materials, foreseeing that you will face many difficulties and challenges, can you tell me how you prepare to take on this task?
