Professor Daniel has acted as a bridge in bolstering bilateral academic cooperation and exchanges between the Da Nang University of Science and Technology (DUT) and AMU over the past 15 years.  He has made great efforts to establish courses in Information Technology (IT) taught in the French language at DUT, and he has developed software for use in the Vietnamese-French Training Programme of Excellent Engineers at this university.

Professor Daniel has also been actively involved in teaching on the Doctorate courses for students from DUT’s Faculty of IT, and he has helped 10 students from the university to win Eiffel scholarships.  The Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme was established by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development to enable French higher education establishments to attract top foreign students for their Master's and PhD courses.
