Since then, every project I’ve done, from building an energy-monitoring device for my home to studying industrial energy habits, has been part of the same quiet pursuit: finding ways to make technology feel human again. Working with Dr. Nguyễn Thanh Tùng taught me that behavior and awareness are as important as circuits and sensors. The cleanest system is the one people understand and believe in.

When I went to the Notre Dame Leadership Seminars, I began to see energy as moral work, a responsibility to leave the world lighter than we found it. Returning home, I tried to pass that forward through TH School’s Science Fair: helping others build ideas that matter. For me, clean energy isn’t just about power, it’s about empathy, balance, and the quiet hope that better systems can build a better world.
