A university lecturer has become the first Vietnamese to win an IBM Faculty Award given by the US-based computer and technology giant for scientific research.

Pham Bao Son, 33, has won the award, a worldwide competitive program to foster collaboration between researchers at leading universities.

Son, a professor of computer science at the National University’s College of Technology in Hanoi, won for his research proposal on “artificial intelligence,” which acquires incremental knowledge for natural language processing.

Son studied at New South Wales University in Australia for 10 years before returning to Vietnam in 2007.

The annual award, granted to a full-time professor at an accredited university which has a doctorate or MBA program in the nominee's field, includes a cash component of a maximum of US$40,000 per year per recipient.
