He has accepted job offers in France, Sweden, and the world's largest wind energy institute - DTU wind Energy of the Technical University of Denmark.

After more than 12 years of working in Singapore, the USA, Canada, and Korea, although his career is successful abroad, Dr. Tien returned home at the end of 2020 to work for Coherent Vietnam.

Dr. Truong Van Tien has worked on many projects on new material technology, advanced manufacturing technology, robotics, AI applications, as well as laser systems for civil and military applications.

His previous research results were also reported by American technology news sites as breakthroughs in production applications and thanks to them he has won many awards for science and creativity. According to Dr. Truong Van Tien, teamwork is one of the key factors of success.
