22 years old, admitted directly to PhD program

In 2019, taking the university entrance exam, Liang Liming was admitted to the School of Computer Science and Engineering of South China University of Technology (China). In 2023, after graduating from university at the age of 22, the male student was directly admitted to the School of Computer Science of Peking University for a doctorate.

Since childhood, Lap Danh was taught by his father that if he wanted to succeed, he had to work hard. In the end, his efforts were rewarded. For Lap Danh, studying for a doctorate at Peking University was an important step towards realizing his dream. However, his journey of a thousand miles was just the beginning.

Lap Danh understands the importance of mastering advanced technology for future international competition. "My ultimate goal is to use technology to change the world and bring benefits to the country. To do this, in my opinion, we need to make more efforts in researching and developing science and technology, soon bringing the country on par with the great powers," Lap Danh said.

Currently, Lap Danh is a second-year graduate student majoring in Applied Computer Engineering at Peking University. He hopes to learn more advanced scientific and technological knowledge in the future.

Received national scholarship for 3 consecutive years, started a business before graduating

Previously, from his first year, Lap Danh was among the top students of the South China University of Technology. In his second year, he participated in the International Mathematics Competition on Modeling (MCM/ICM) for university students held in the US and won second prize. In addition, Lap Danh also left many marks at computer competitions at home and abroad.

During his four years at university, Lap Danh was honored to receive a national scholarship for three consecutive years. In addition, the male student also received Tencent and Huawei scholarships, with a total value of more than 50,000 NDT (about 175 million VND). The above series of achievements helped Lap Danh be in the top 10 outstanding party members and best students at South China University of Technology (China) in 2022.

Not only outstanding academic achievements. The male student also impressed in the field of startups. Lap Danh started writing code when he was a second-year student, from interface design to backend programming. The success of the first project helped Lap Danh earn 50,000 NDT (about 175 million VND). This ignited the male student's passion for startups.

To establish the company, Lap Danh began looking for like-minded partners. In July 2022, when he was a third-year student, Lap Danh decided to establish Guangdong Huananhu Technology Co., Ltd. (China), with a registered capital of 5 million yuan (about 17.5 billion VND). Initially, the company had only a few members, but has now grown to a team of 60 people.

The company's business scope has also expanded from software and hardware development to artificial intelligence and education. Currently, the company mainly operates in the fields of artificial intelligence application software development, network software and information security, artificial intelligence algorithm R&D, system maintenance, etc.

After 2 years of establishment, the company has completed a number of information and digital projects for many businesses and organizations. The company has also developed its own products, owning many patents and software copyrights.

Recalling the time of starting his business, Lap Danh said he had to overcome many difficulties, staying up all night to complete the project. "However, I was lucky to have excellent partners accompanying me. They helped me strengthen my confidence in myself," the CEO of Hoa Nam Ho Company shared.

"We have gone through all the difficulties that startups often encounter, from human resources, technology, market to customer files. However, with a solid technical foundation and a stable team, we have now overcome everything," a partner of Lap Danh revealed.

Not yet graduated from university, 21-year-old female student won a master's scholarship in Space Science in France . From Quy Nhon, Trinh Hoang Dieu Ngan went to Hanoi to study Space Science and Satellite Technology. After 3 years, Ngan won a full scholarship for a master's program at the most prestigious school in France, even though she had not graduated from university.
