I studied physics for three years in a bamboo hut in the forest. It was during the war and my school had fled Hanoi. I subsequently earned my bachelor’s degree in physics from Hanoi University and my PhD from the Polish Academy of Science. I am now a member of the National Basic Research Program of Vietnam on Optical Properties of Photonic Materials at the Institute of Materials Science of the Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology. In 2005 I received the National Award of Vietnam for Science and Technology. This is the story of how I came to love physics more at each step of my education and career.
