Long Pham, a leader of the American Engineering Community

​

As a Vietnamese American, Long went out of his local community in Little Saigon to become a leader of the American engineering community in the USA before there is a Little Saigon.  First, he went into nuclear engineering in 1979, a special field that few Vietnamese engineers want to be worked closely with a former USC professor.  He developed his first nuclear invention in 1984 and was later elected by his peers to serve as Vice President of the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the institute setting standards for engineering and nuclear safeties recognized worldwide for over 100 years, and still serves as an advisor.
