How I got addicted to Chemistry

5 years ago, I was just a careless child like many other. My Asian parents though, who both studied in a “Chuyen” school (Gifted school) asked:”Do you want to get serious in a specific subject? So that you can get into a Chuyen school.” I thought to myself, why not?

 Calculating Iron’s moles after a reaction with an acid, answering how much gas emitted or trying to figure out contents of a banana, Chemistry just embraced me time by time. Little did I know that while studying why Pi bonds break, I was building an unbreakable bond (or Sigma bond) with Chemistry as well.

After getting into my dream Highschool, I started to wonder how things I learnt in Chemistry help in real life. Working in the National Institute of Biology, I got an eye opening experience of how scientists use Chemistry to sort, multiply and apply Bacterias that eats out all the Nitrate which pollutes our water. More important, I got to know the definition and became a hard fan of scientists, who dedicates in silence in sake of protecting the global environment

Developer, Anammox Nitrogen Treatment System in Wastewater for Small-Scale Aquaculture

The research got me excited to lay hands on a real product. I researched more about ANAMMOX, an advanced technology that use these Nitrate-fed bacterias to purify water in big factories, and thought that it would be amazing if local fish farms in my hometown can access this. My ongoing goal is to make this technology useable by all farmers.
