HaUI scientists honored in the global ranking of the world’s most influential researchers

Amidst the accelerating progress of global science and technology, the international recognition of Vietnamese scientists is a promising indicator of the nation’s advancing research capacity and its strengthening academic position worldwide.

Elsevier has officially published the seventh edition of its global database identifying the world’s most influential scientists in 2025

A recent analysis published in the esteemed journal PLoS Biology, conducted by researchers from Stanford University, has identified the world's most influential scientists for 2025. Among those featured in this global ranking are several distinguished lecturers and scholars from Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI).

The ranking's methodology is noted for its scientific rigor. It utilizes data from the comprehensive Scopus database to assess researchers based on a composite impact score, rather than relying solely on publication volume. A key feature of this evaluation is the inclusion of metrics that both include and exclude self-citations, thereby providing a more nuanced and impartial assessment of scholarly influence.

In the 2025 edition, three scientists from HaUI have been recognized on this distinguished list, a testament to the university's research excellence across diverse disciplines such as economics, engineering, and chemistry:

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Ba Phong, Vice Principal of the School of Foreign Languages and Tourism, HaUI

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Ba Phong secured the remarkable global rank of 19,517, specializing in the field of Business & Management. He achieved a composite influence score of 3.2423 (c(ns)), which excludes self-citations. This accomplishment is not only a testament to his personal research excellence but also signifies the robust growth of the business and economics programs at HaUI.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Do Duc Trung, School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, Hanoi University of Industry

Acknowledged for his impactful work in Industrial Engineering & Automation, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Do Duc Trung secured the global rank of 51,961 with a c(ns) index of 2.9340. This recognition is a testament to his tireless dedication to research and his contributions of significant practical value to the field of engineering.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tuan Anh, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Chemical Technology, HaUI

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tuan Anh holds the 231,529th position in the ranking, with a c(ns) score of 2.4274. His recognition in his primary field of General Chemistry underscores HaUI's commitment to and investment in the fundamental sciences.

The recognition of three HaUI scientists in this prestigious global ranking marks a significant milestone for the university. This achievement powerfully validates HaUI's strategic commitment to advancing scientific research, fostering international collaboration, and cultivating a vibrant and innovative academic ecosystem. It significantly elevates the university's academic prestige on both the national and global stages. Furthermore, it acts as a powerful source of motivation and inspiration for the university's staff, lecturers, young scientists, and generations of students.
