GACES – Group of Advanced Computations in Engineering Sciences is a key research group in the Faculty of Civil Engineering and being a home of experts and excellent researchers graduated from developed countries. The formation of the group is the result of over the past 10 years of nurture. Being ratified in 2012 by the President of the University, the group was expected to be a prestigious research center in Vietnam and the region. Under the chairmanship of Asso. Dr. Nguyen Hoai Son, the research activities of the group can be divided into two directions:

        1. Advanced numerical computation methods chaired by Dr. Chau Dinh Thanh
        2. Modellings of composite materials and structures chaired by  Assoc. Dr. Nguyen Trung Kien

Research Goals

Basic research, in-depth research and application of numerical methods to mechanical problems:

The theoretical basis and the development of numerical methods.

Advantages and disadvantages of the numerical methods for each problem

Programming for numerical methods.

Application of Commercial software to solve actual problems.
