Abstract:
Ultraprecision manufacturing technologies take an important role in modern industry and economy. However, the advance of ultraprecision manufacturing technologies is always accompanied by excessive energy consumption, waste emission and environmental load. It is an urgent task to reconsider the future strategies for ultraprecision manufacturing technologies to improve their sustainability while maintaining their precision level. In this talk, two approaches adopted by the speaker’s group towards the sustainable ultraprecision manufacturing will be introduced. One is material property-oriented process integration/optimization based on multidisciplinary (mechanical, optical, electrical, thermal, and chemical, etc.) methodologies to minimize the energy consumption and environmental load. The other is the development of novel manufacturing processes based on reusing/recycling the industrial waste to realize close-looped material streams and preserve the material resources. As an example, laser-based nanomaterial (nanoparticle, nanowire, etc.) generation from the silicon chips (sludges) disposed from the slicing/grinding processes of silicon ingots/wafers will be introduced, which provides potential possibility for fabricating high-performance silicon-based anodes for lithium-ion batteries. Challenges and possibilities for the R&D and engineering education in this area will be also discussed.

Abstract:
Finite element (FE) simulation for high-speed milling of aluminum alloy was performed using a ductile fracture model with Mohr–Coulomb criterion proposed by Bai and Wierzbicki (BW). To verify the model, predicted cutting forces were compared to experimental results in the same cutting conditions. Then, further simulations were performed to estimate the cutting forces and chip shrinkage coefficients subjected to different cutting parameters such as cutting speeds, cutting depths, and clearance angles of a cutting tool. The obtained results were also used to determine optimal cutting parameters using the Taguchi method. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to investigate the influence percentage of each cutting parameter on cutting force and chip shrinkage coefficient.

Title: Navigating the Energy Transition and Carbon Trading: Strategies for Climate Change Mitigation in Vietnam
Bio:
Nguyen Xuan Huy, born in 1978 in Phu Yen province, Vietnam, is an accomplished professional in the field of geology and petroleum engineering. He completed his Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Engineering degrees at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), Vietnam National University-Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) in 2001 and 2004, respectively. In 2008, he obtained an MBA degree from HCMUT. To further advance his academic qualifications, Nguyen Xuan Huy pursued a Doctor of Engineering degree at Sejong University in South Korea, which he completed in 2012. Following his doctoral studies, he engaged in postdoctoral research for two years.
Currently, Nguyen Xuan Huy holds the esteemed position of Professor in the Faculty of Geology and Petroleum Engineering at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT). As a professor, he imparts his knowledge and expertise to students and contributes to the academic community through research and teaching.
Nguyen Xuan Huy has made significant contributions to his field through his research, resulting in numerous papers for publication. His research primarily focuses on geology, petroleum engineering, and the specialty of CCUS in EOR (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage in Enhanced Oil Recovery) with a specific emphasis on CO2 flooding.
Specifically, Nguyen Xuan Huy has been involved in windfarm projects in Vietnam since 2017, with a specialization in offshore windfarms. Offshore windfarms are an important component of renewable energy infrastructure, harnessing wind power from offshore locations to generate electricity. Nguyen Xuan Huy’s involvement in these projects indicates his dedication to promoting sustainable energy solutions and his contribution to the development of renewable energy sources in Vietnam.
His expertise and participation in windfarm projects likely involve various aspects, such as site selection, feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, project management, and optimization of energy production. By applying his knowledge and experience in these areas, Nguyen Xuan Huy contributes to the growth and implementation of offshore windfarm projects, which play a vital role in the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
Abstract:
This research explores the two pivotal strategies for climate change mitigation in Vietnam: the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources and the development of a carbon trading market. As one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economies, Vietnam is grappling with escalating energy demand and corresponding greenhouse gas emissions. This study investigates the potential and challenges of renewable energy resources in Vietnam, including solar, wind, and geothermal energy, in light of the country’s energy transition efforts. Simultaneously, it analyzes the role that a carbon trading market could play in incentivizing emission reductions and promoting sustainable practices within the country’s industrial sector.
The paper employs a mixed-methods approach, combining data analysis, policy review, and stakeholder interviews. Our findings underscore the significant potential for renewable energy in Vietnam’s power mix, yet also highlight existing policy, infrastructure, and market barriers. Furthermore, our research suggests that the establishment of a national carbon trading market could be a critical tool for driving Vietnam’s low-carbon transition, although several regulatory and capacity-building measures are necessary to ensure its effectiveness.
This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders interested in Vietnam’s climate change mitigation strategies. It underscores the need for comprehensive and integrated approaches that leverage both renewable energy development and market-based mechanisms like carbon trading to achieve the country’s emission reduction targets and broader sustainable development goals.
