PhD in Computational Chemistry and AI for Vietnamese Students at Nanyang Technological University

A fully funded PhD opportunity is available at the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, specifically for highly motivated Vietnamese students. The position is supported by the Vingroup Graduate Scholarship (VGS), which enables outstanding Vietnamese students to pursue graduate studies at world-class institutions like NTU. The research group, led by Associate Professor Xiaogang Liu, focuses on the intersection of computational chemistry, artificial intelligence in chemistry, and the design of fluorophores and advanced materials. Key research areas include the photophysics of organic luminescent materials (such as fluorophores, probes, and photosensitizers), structure–property relationship studies, and data-driven chemistry. The group offers an open, collaborative, and interdisciplinary environment, combining expertise in chemistry, photochemistry, chemical biology, and machine learning. The PhD program duration is four years, with the next intake in September 2026. The VGS scholarship provides comprehensive financial support, including full tuition coverage and a competitive stipend, making this an excellent opportunity for Vietnamese students seeking to advance their research careers in a supportive and internationally competitive setting. Eligibility requirements include being a Vietnamese national, a strong academic background in relevant fields, and a passion for computational chemistry and related research areas. Applicants should prepare a CV, academic transcripts with GPA, a short statement of research interests, and any publications or coding portfolio if available. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Xiaogang Liu directly via email for further information and to submit their application materials.
