Vien-Duong QUACH conducted an undergraduate study on Material Chemistry at Vietnam National University, Hanoi. He was then a scholar in the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master SERP+ program (surface, electro, radiation, photo-chemistry) whereby he received double M.Sc. degrees in Physical Chemistry and Materials Science from Université Paris-Saclay (France) and Università di Genova (Italy). QUACH is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Material Chemistry at Institute of Physical Chemistry, CNRS UMR8000, Université Paris-Saclay. His work centers on strong metal support interaction (SMSI)-liked core@shell nanostructures mediated by metallic nanoparticles and their applications on photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis.
