Expanding cooperation with TMA company and American universities

On October 16, the Faculty of Information Technology of UEF organized a meeting to discuss cooperation in training and scientific research with professors from Columbia University, the University of Houston (USA), and TMA Company. This is a promising first step for extensive cooperation projects in the future, not only in training students but also in promoting scientific research between the Faculty and prestigious universities around the world.
On the UEF side, Dr. Ngo Minh Hai, Vice President of the University; Dr. Nguyen Ha Giang, Head of the Faculty of Information Technology; Dr. Van Thi Thien Trang, Deputy Head of the Faculty of Information Technology; Dr. Nguyen Van Vinh Deputy Head of the Faculty of Information Technology; and lecturers of the faculty attended this meeting.
The partners represented were Dr. David Nghiem, a member of the TMA Advisory Board; Prof. Dr. Thomas Vaughan, a member of the TMA Advisory Board professor at Columbia University; Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Hien, University of Houston; and Prof. Dr. Ji Chen, The Interim Chair and Professor of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Houston.
Coming to UEF, Dr. David Nghiem discussed study opportunities for students in the US, internship programs, PhD and doctoral studies, and training cooperation opportunities with the University of Houston in Engineering and Computer Science.

The exchange opened up many opportunities for cooperation between the parties

On behalf of the University, Dr. Ngo Minh Hai presented an overview of UEF's training programs and its international joint programs with British and American universities, which are 2+2 and 3+1. Dr. Nguyen Ha Giang also introduced five majors who had trained at the Faculty of Information Technology and the newly established Artificial Intelligence department.
 

GS.TS. Thomas Vaughan sharing the seminar "MRA Technology"

In the seminar, Prof. Dr. Thomas Vaughan shared about MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography) technology, a breakthrough in the field of modern medicine. He emphasized that applying MRA technology globally not only helps improve the MRI process but also contributes to significantly reducing patient costs. Thanks to the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technology solutions, Prof. Vaughan pointed out how to optimize data in the medical image processing process and, at the same time, proposed methods to reduce the cost of manufacturing MRA equipment, making this technology more accessible to medical facilities and patients around the world.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Hien also provided insights into the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, especially in diagnosing and treating dangerous diseases such as cancer and kidney disease. He emphasized the outstanding achievements of AI in supporting doctors in diagnostic imaging, helping to improve the accuracy of reading biopsy results and other diagnostic methods. Not only stopping at improving clinical efficiency, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Hien also mentioned the potential for developing AI applications, helping to optimize medical processes, from rapid diagnosis to personalized treatment, opening a new era for modern medicine.

According to Dr. Nguyen Ha Giang and Dr. Nguyen Van Vinh, the cooperation exchange not only opens up valuable opportunities for lecturers of the Faculty of Information Technology but also creates conditions for students to access advanced technologies, especially applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine and many other areas of life. Hopefully, the cooperation between the parties will be a solid foundation for developing research and innovation capacity for both lecturers and students of UEF, contributing to achieving outstanding achievements in the future.
