UEF's Faculty of Information Technology Collaborates with TMA and Leading U.S. Universities
OCTOBER 16, UEF's Faculty of Information Technology hosted a meeting to discuss collaboration in education and scientific research with professors from Columbia University, the University of Houston (USA), and representatives from TMA Solutions. This marks a promising starting point for extensive future collaboration, not only in student training but also in advancing scientific research between the faculty and renowned global universities.
Representing UEF at the meeting were Dr. Ngo Minh Hai - Vice President; Dr. Nguyen Ha Giang - Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology; Dr. Van Thi Thien Trang - Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology; Dr. Nguyen Van Vinh - Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology, along with other faculty members.
Representing the partners were Dr. David Nghiem - Member of the TMA Advisory Board; Prof. Dr. Thomas Vaughan - Member of the TMA Advisory Board and Professor at Columbia University; Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Hien - University of Houston; and Prof. Dr. Ji Chen - Interim Chair and Professor of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Houston.
During his visit to UEF, Dr. David Nghiem shared valuable insights about study opportunities for students in the United States, including internship programs, Master’s and Ph.D. studies, as well as potential educational collaborations with the University of Houston in the fields of Engineering and Computer Science.

During the seminar, Prof. Dr. Thomas Vaughan shared insights into MRA technology (Magnetic Resonance Angiography), a groundbreaking advancement in modern medicine. He emphasized that the global application of MRA technology not only enhances MRI imaging processes but also significantly reduces costs for patients. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with advanced technological solutions, Prof. Vaughan demonstrated methods for optimizing data during medical imaging processing. He also presented strategies for reducing production costs of MRA equipment, making the technology more accessible to healthcare facilities and patients worldwide.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Hien delivered a presentation at the seminar on the topic “From Biopsies to Boarding Passes: Exploring Promises and Pitfalls of AI in Medicine.”
Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Hien provided profound insights into the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, particularly in diagnosing and treating critical diseases such as cancer and kidney disease. He emphasized the remarkable achievements of AI in assisting doctors with imaging diagnostics, enhancing the accuracy of biopsy interpretations, and other diagnostic methods. Beyond improving clinical efficiency, Prof. Nguyen Van Hien also discussed the potential of AI to optimize medical workflows, from rapid diagnosis to personalized treatment therapies, heralding a new era for modern medicine.
According to Dr. Nguyen Ha Giang and Dr. Nguyen Van Vinh, the collaborative discussion not only opened valuable opportunities for the lecturers of the Faculty of Information Technology but also created conditions for students to access advanced technologies, especially AI applications in medicine and other areas of life. It is hoped that the collaboration between the parties will serve as a solid foundation to enhance research and innovation capabilities for both UEF lecturers and students, contributing to remarkable achievements in the future.
