I want to create this thread to introduce the work by Vietnamese people and the people that we, Vietnamese, are proud of.
I hope others can add more so Vietnamese members here can be proud of Vietnam and Vietnamese people.

I will start with the two guys in scientific fields.

Bui Tuong Phong, born in Hanoi, Vietnam, is regarded as one of the pioneers of Computer Graphics for his inventions of Phong reflection model and the Phong shading interpolation method, techniques widely used in computer graphics.
Phong’s lighting model is still one of the most widely used methods for illumination in computer graphics.
He joint Stanford University as an assistant professor after receiving his PhD from University of Utah.
It is a pity that he died a very young age. Otherwise, he could continue contributing to Computer Graphics research.

I am doing research in Computer Graphics and I’m very proud of this guy :banana:
