"I am really convinced by the purpose that VinFuture is aiming for. It is to recognize the achievements of scientists, to become a bridge so that young women and scientists from developing countries can be conquering vast fields of science and technology. The next reason why I accepted the offer was that there were members of the award committee who had received Nobel or Turing prizes. It was an honor to work with them. The last reason is because VinFuture is an award from Vietnam. I have a good impression of Vietnam through friends and students from this country. I think the fact that this award originated in Vietnam is something to look forward to."
