During her PhD at ICMCB, University of Bordeaux, Thi-Thiet VU studied Prussian Blue analog RbMnFe particles, focusing on the influence of their size and composition on magnetic and nonlinear properties, with a view to their integration in graphene-based optoelectronic devices.
She then carried out her first post-doctorate at the LPCNO (INSA Toulouse), where she deepened her expertise in organometallic chemistry. There, she developed strategies for protecting cobalt nano-rods from oxidation in aqueous media by means of a gold coating, opening up new prospects for applications in biological imaging.
During her second postdoctorate at ENS-IMAP-PSL, she worked on the development of new hybrid materials combining the flexibility of MOFs with the physical properties of spin-transition or luminescent molecules, for applications in shock detection.
She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Collège de France, where she is developing MOFs-based photocatalysts for the complete reduction of CO₂.
