I stand corrected! But also I thought I was being clear that we were talking about universities. I'm not familiar with the Vietnam Academy of Sciences and Technology, but it looks to be a research institute. Unless things work differently over there (they very may well), research institutes don't confer degrees. Also looking at their news page it looks like they are hosting the PhD defense for Nguyen Thi Tra, who is from Hanoi Pedagogical University[0]. Good luck Thi Tra!
Maybe there are actually universities with departments in optimization. But if so, they are exceedingly rare. Departments are generally not very specialized. But hey, some universities do weird things.
> You cannot get a `PhD in Mathematics` - the title of the PhD is never ever (ever) `PhD in Mathematics` (or `Physics` or `Electrical Engineering` or `Computer Science`).
My diploma would beg to differ. This is not mine, but mine looks strikingly similar[1]. (This was just found by a google image search)
THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN PHYSICS
They got their degree from UCI. You'll have to take up any further objections with them, not me. You should probably start by messaging the Department of Physics and Astronomy[2].
As for me, you'll have a terrible time trying to convince me that the words I read on my diploma are not real.
