Having completed a PhD course in Computational Mathematics at the Institute of Mathematics- National Academy of Sciences of Belarus in 2018, Dr Le Minh Hieu, 35, decided to make a home comeback in an effort to make significant contributions to the Fatherland’s progress despite receiving many invitations to work in the foreign country.

After returning to Viet Nam, Dr Hieu was assigned to teach Financial Mathematics at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Economics under the University of Da Nang. Talking about his decision to return amid many invitations to work in a foreign land, he gently replied: “I determined from the very beginning that I would return to my hometown after finishing my studies. Therefore, I did."

Dr Hieu is currently the author of dozens of scientific research articles published in international journals under the list of ISI/Scopus and other prestigious scientific ones. In particular, in the first half of 2021, he had 5 articles published in journals under the ISI/Scopus System. Needless to say, most people admire him a lot when looking at his collection of scientific research achievements.

The list of ISI/Scopus includes prestigious scientific journals in the world. ISI is a collection of about 10,000 high-quality scientific journals out of a total of millions of general journals worldwide. Scopus contains tens of millions of abstracts, of which more than 30,000 are peer-reviewed journals in the sciences, engineering, health, society, arts and humanities.

According to a long-time teaching researcher in economics, it is not easy to get an article published in a journal of the ISI list. The article must have high scientific content and contribute to the academic basis and policy implications.

Dr Le Minh Hieu said that an idea is the most important to have an article in international journals. Sometimes, it takes writers some months to come up with an idea. After having an idea, he discussed it with his teacher at the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and received support from him. In the process of implementation, he consults with teachers and friends to have valid contributions and then completes the article. Besides, he also created a Blog to share knowledge, lectures; and interact with his fellow students as well as his students on Mathematics

“To be successful, you must first have your passion. You also have to read a host of documents, learn from another to enrich your knowledge”, said Dr. Hieu. From his early life, Mathematics is an interesting and fascinating field to explore. As the result of his passion and relentless efforts, he has had remarkable achievements. In 2018 and 2021, he received the Certificate of Merit from the Chairman of Da Nang People's Committee for having excellent scientific articles published in prestigious journals in the ISI list.

He was also rewarded for his Mathematical work in 2020 of the National key program on mathematics development in 2010-2020, and for having articles published in prestigious international scientific journals in the list of ISI, SCI, SCIE in 2020 of the Ministry of Education and Training, etc.

Many young Vietnamese have many different ways to contribute to our country and Hieu chose for himself the way back because he wants to be a small piece of the country’s development.
