Department of Mathematics - On August 19, 2019, in Hanoi, the Innovation Fund (VINIF) of Vingroup held a signing ceremony to sponsor scientific and technological projects in 2019. In this program, VINIF announced funding for 20 science and technology research projects. All of the funded projects are big ones, bringing practical benefits in many important areas such as big data, Biomedical calculating, genetics and cell, material science, smart communication, IoT (Internet of Things), image recognition and natural language processing, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics in Data Science and Industry.
According to Prof. Vu Ha Van, Scientific Director of VINIF, 6 months after announcing its intention of funding for application-oriented science and technology research projects, VINIF's Foundation's Science and Technology Council has selected 20 best projects among nearly 200 applications from universities and research institutes across Vietnam. This annual support program of Vingroup has a flexible financial mechanism, minimal administrative procedures and resources to provide the best working conditions for scientists and promote application-oriented research.

Quy Nhon University is one of the two universities in Central Vietnam and Central Highlands are funded by VINIF this time. The project is in the field of Mathematics and its Applications, with the theme "Some new directions of harmonic, optimal and control analysis with applications in data science and industry" carried out by the research group of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Quy Nhon University, consisting of Assoc. Prof. Sc D. Huynh Van Ngai, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phan Thanh Nam, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luong Dang Ky, Dr. Le Quang Thuan, Dr. Lam Thi Thanh Tam, Dr. Nguyen Huu Toan, Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Quoc Thuong, Dr. Nguyen Van Vu, Dr. Tran Ngoc Nguyen, led by Assoc. Prof. Sc,D. Huynh Van Ngai - Head of Applied Mathematics of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The project focuses on three research directions on strengths of applied mathematics of the current faculty, namely: Analyzing harmonic and application in image processing; Optimal size and application in data science; Control digital connection systems and applications for industrial systems. The scientists in the research group are Ph.D. holders in the field of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from prestigious universities and research institutes in Europe and they have had many scientific works published in the leading SCI and Q1 journals. Through this scientific project - a large-scale project with significant funding, sponsored by a national prestigious science fund such as VINIF, proves the scientific and training capability of strong research groups. Currently, Quy Nhon University, especially in the field of Applied Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Data Science and Statistics.

The main goal of the project is to find breakthrough solutions in the field of Mathematics, application orientation in Data Science and Industry, expressed by high-quality scientific publications published in Q1 journals. In addition, the Project spends part of the fund to give training support to the undergraduate andpost-graduate training of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics Education of Quy Nhon University. The Project will consider funding scholarships for brilliant undergraduate and graduate students of above-mentioned fields of study of Quy Nhon University.
Quy Nhon University has been very interested in building and actively supporting application-oriented research groups, especially in the areas of career trends of Industrial Revolution 4.0, such as Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Information Technology, Technological Engineering, Natural Science. The research teams of the University have been carrying out a lot of research projects at the levels of the State, the Ministry of Science and Technology (Nafosted topics), the Ministry of Education and Training and the province. Scientific research and technology transfer, through which the quality of undergraduate and post-graduate training is considerably improved are the top priorities of Quy Nhon University. Therefore, Quy Nhon University graduates are highly valued by many companies and businesses in Central Vietnam, Central Highlands, and across the country.
