1. Caroline Rizza, Telecom Paris
Caroline Rizza, PhD, is Associate Prof. in Information and Communication Sciences at I3-Telecom Paris (UMR 9217), Institut Polytechnique de Paris, presently visiting the IRD in Hanoï. She is the president of the ISCRAM Community (Information System for crisis response and management) since 2019 (iscram.org).
Her research focuses on the digital skills of the actors of emergency and crisis situations and on their appropriation of digital tools to cope with them: in particular, how citizens’ initiatives, fostered by digital technology such as social media or mobile apps., modify the relationships between public, private and citizen actors, and what attention should be paid to them. She has been developing field analysis in close collaboration with public institutions in charge of crisis management and policy makers.
In a context of climate change and its associated creeping crises, her collaboration with the IRD researchers aims at understanding how to better prepare both citizens and institutions to natural disasters such as flooding or storms using digital tools and fostering their collaboration at each step of the crisis management cycle.
2. Nguyen Xuan Hung, HUTECH
Prof. Hung Nguyen Xuan (H. Nguyen-Xuan) is the Director of CIRTech Institute, HUTECH University, Vietnam. He is currently an adjunct professor at China Medical University (Taiwan) (from 2015 to present) and a visiting professor at Sejong University (South Korea) (from 2014 to present).

3. Pham Van Chien, UMMISCO, IRD & TLU
His background is in mathematical modeling and artificial intelligence which have been applied in different fields such as natural environment and water resources.
He teaches different courses related to AI, numerical and mathematical models from fundamental to advanced courses, e.g., two-dimensional model morphological change and bed, artificial intelligence in natural and water resources, measurement and data assimilation, risk and disaster. He corresponds to the head of the Department of river engineering and disaster management, managing 10 staff and 15 courses for both undergraduate and graduate programs as well as leading the research theme of the department on river engineering and disaster management. According to my background, teaching, research, management, and network, I am very interested in the Mathematical application position in your university.
