Short Bio

Ngo Thi Thuy Huong is an experienced environmental scientist with expertise in ecology, aquaculture, ecotoxicology, and environmental health. She has a strong background in environmental health and ecotoxicology, focusing on the toxicity of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants and their effects on the physiological condition of animals and humans. She worked at the Research Institute for Aquaculture No. 1, Vietnam, then at the Vietnam Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources after receiving a doctorate in Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology from the University of Bayreuth in 2008. She is currently employed as a leader of the “Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology” research group and a lecturer at the Faculty of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, at Phenikaa University, Yen Nghia, Ha Dong, Hanoi, Vietnam. She has led and co-led 17 national and international cooperation projects with total funding of more than $4.5 million in water and soil pollution, microplastic pollution in river basins and coastal regions, their effects on aquatic animal health, aquaculture practice and human health. Besides, she established a method of soil phytoremediation to address the Agent Orange problem in Vietnam, as well as biomarkers for early diagnosis of health problems. She supervised 16 postgraduate students and several undergraduate students from Vietnamese universities, Rostock University, Germany, and the Free University of Brussels. She has published several peer-reviewed articles and has given presentations and lectures at international meetings, summer schools and conferences. She is a regular lecturer at universities in Vietnam and Belgium. She can develop teamwork and leadership skills, has negotiation skills, and can work under pressure. She always seeks new professional challenges in research and education in the environmental sciences and related fields.
