Professor and Academician Le Truong Giang (second from left) receives the Academician title from the International Association of Academies of Sciences on September 18.

The IAAS Academician title is awarded to a few select outstanding scientists who play a leading role and have significant influence in the international scientific community. From its inception in 2019 until the 37th meeting in 2024, the IAAS has elected 54 academicians from thousands of outstanding scientists from member organizations.

The first Vietnamese holding this title was VAST President Professor and Academician Chau Van Minh, who was elected in 2019.

This is not only an honor for the individual scientist but also evidence of the maturity and growing international integration of Vietnamese science on the global stage.

Giang is an expert in chemistry-related fields such as analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, food toxicology, and optimization. He has led and participated in numerous fundamental and high-application research projects, ranging from modeling the kinetics of chemical reactions to developing technologies for the treatment of persistent organic pollutants in the environment and controlling toxins in food. He has published hundreds of scientific papers on prestigious international journals, receiving high evaluation from the scientific community and having a wide academic impact.
