Dr. Vũ Ngọc Ánh to Deliver Keynote on “Sustainable Collaboration through Connecting Minds for a Greener Future”

The Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference Vietnam 2026 is honored to welcome Dr. Vũ Ngọc Ánh, a leading aerospace engineer, drone innovator, and sustainability advocate, as the keynote speaker for this year’s event. His keynote address, centered on “Sustainable Collaboration through Connecting Minds for a Greener Future,” will highlight how cross-disciplinary innovation and shared vision can accelerate environmental transformation.

With 20 years of experience in aircraft and drone design optimization, Dr. Ánh has dedicated his career to developing technologies that support sustainable agriculture and reduce environmental impact. He earned his PhD in Aerospace Engineering from Konkuk University, South Korea, in 2012, and rapidly emerged as one of Vietnam’s most influential figures in unmanned systems engineering.

In 2019, he became one of the youngest Associate Professors at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, recognized for pioneering research in agricultural drone systems that enable farmers to use inputs more efficiently, conserve natural resources, and embrace eco-friendly practices.

In his leadership roles as CEO of Noba Robotics Ltd (2018–2022) and CTO of JWCLab Ltd (2019–2021), Dr. Ánh spearheaded the development of robotics solutions that merge technological advancement with sustainability goals. His early efforts in bringing drone technologies into agriculture set the groundwork for a new generation of ultralight agricultural robots, emphasizing reduced emissions, lower chemical use, and minimized environmental footprint.

Today, Dr. Ánh continues this mission through Airboots, a groundbreaking invention he pioneered. The technology reflects his belief that collaboration, shared knowledge, and united innovation are essential for building a greener and more resilient future.

In his keynote, Dr. Ánh will explore how connecting minds across research, industry, and communities can unlock sustainable pathways forward—demonstrating how robotics, automation, and intelligent systems can become powerful tools for climate resilience and environmental stewardship.
