Cosmos Lab

💖Some reflections shared by Nguyen Toan Thang after taking part in relief efforts to support flood-affected communities in Khanh Hoa:
“These past few days (November 24-25), I temporarily left the VinUni Lab to visit the people of Nha Trang ward, Khanh Hoa.
Standing in the midst of the devastation after the storm, what haunted me was not only the terrible devastation of nature, but also the eyes and smiles of the people here. They lost a lot, their houses were devastated, but strangely, they still welcomed our group warmly, with firm handshakes and an extraordinary spirit of optimism. I came to contribute a small part, but it was those people who taught me a great lesson about the will to live.
As a researcher at COSMOS, I suddenly realized: Science or research, if it only exists on paper or on a computer, is meaningless. I do science not only to satisfy my passion, but also for these flesh-and-blood people.
Thanks to the trip with Ms. Phan Thi Thuc Anh (Vice Principal of VinUni), Mr. Dinh Van Dung, Ms. Bui Thu Dung, Mr. Cong (Nha Trang University), colleagues and stakeholders for allowing me to touch this stark but humane reality. I promise myself that the upcoming research or policies will have to be more practical, to somehow protect people from the wrath of heaven and earth.”

🌊The FISH 2025 Mini-Workshop – Fisheries Innovation for Sustainable Harvests was
successfully held at VinUniversity!

👇Let’s take a look back at some highlights and memorable moments from the workshop!

Presentation of Prof. Nguyen Ngoc Doanh at the Workshop on AI Application in the Digital Era. The sharing is about the most exciting frontiers where AI meets simulation — the world of Digital Twin.

A Digital Twin is not just a virtual model — it is a living, learning mirror of the real world. It allows us to observe, predict, and design reality through data-driven virtual environments. From cities and factories to ecosystems and human health, digital twins are enabling us to experiment safely in the virtual world before making decisions that transform the real one.

During the presentation, they explored how AI empowers Digital Twins to continuously learn, adapt, and optimize — turning our imagination of “what could be” into actionable insight for “what should be.”

Key message: Let’s step into the future where the virtual world becomes our laboratory, and the real world becomes smarter, more sustainable, and more human-centered.
