On November 8th, 2025, the DTU School of Engineering & Technology (SET) held its fourth annual Science Conference. The event served as a forum where scientists, lecturers, and PhD students could exchange and share new research findings, and it fostered creativity and the practical application of science.
The conference provides scientists, faculty members, and PhD students
with an opportunity to exchange and share new research results
This year marks the fifth time the SET has held its Science Conference. The event featured twenty-five presentations, of which 18 outstanding papers were selected for presentation and divided into three subsessions:
- Mechanical & Automation Engineering – Electronics
- Civil Engineering
- Arts & Applied Fine Arts
SET staff, lecturers, and PhD students attending the fifth Science Conference
In addition to presentations by the university’s faculty and PhD students, this year’s conference also featured two invited papers from the University of Da Nang and Hue University, contributing to expanded academic exchange and strengthened research collaboration among institutions.
After a rigorous evaluation process, the Scientific Committee selected and awarded the Best Paper in each subcommittee as follows:
- Mechanical & Automation Engineering - Electronics: The project entitled“ Research and Simulation of the Impact of Roof Spoilers on the Aerodynamic Performance of Enclosed Cargo Trucks Using ANSYS” by Vo Thanh Tien, Tran Nguyen Nhan Huy, Tran Thanh Hung, and Truong Dinh Phong. The study focused on simulating truck aerodynamics using CFD in ANSYS Fluent, demonstrating that installing a roof spoiler significantly reduces drag, saves fuel, and lowers emissions, offering highly practical implications for the mechanical and transportation industries.
- Civil Engineering: The project entitled “Influence of Infill Walls on the Progressive Collapse Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Frames” by authors Le Cao Vinh, Nguyen Van Tien, and Pham Phu Anh Huy. Using nonlinear simulations in OpenSees, the study highlights the dual role of infill walls in the progressive collapse mechanism and proposes design recommendations to enhance the resilience of reinforced concrete structures, representing a significant contribution to the field of structural engineering.
- Arts & Applied Fine Arts: The project entitled “Fashion and the Virtual Universe: Digital Fashion, Non-Fungible Digital Assets, and the Redefinition of Virtual Shopping Experiences” by Bui Mai Trinh. This work offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of fashion and digital technology, analyzing fashion models within the Metaverse and major brands such as Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Nike, illustrating how NFT technology and virtual spaces are shaping the future of the fashion industry.
The fifth Science Conference of the School of Engineering & Technology concluded with success, leaving a strong impression and opening new, highly applicable research directions. The event not only affirmed DTU’s pioneering role in scientific research but also demonstrated a spirit of innovation, creativity, and international integration in engineering and technology education.
