From Saigon to Orsay

Following the meeting in 2019 with
Manoel Dialinas, former from Orsay,
engineer ENSI Nantes, research
director at the CNRS, and the reading
of his memoirs, I was encouraged to
examine my own career and write my
memoirs. This exercise provided an
opportunity to provide an update on
my itinerary, especially during this
period dominated by the Covid-19
pandemic.

Here I report my memoirs of my training,
what I came to France for, and my
professional career, determined by the
political conditions of my origin country
and family on the one hand and the
conditions of research in France ...
