About Me

I am currently a Research Assistant at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), supervised by Prof. Ngai-Man (Man) Cheung. Previously, I was an AI researcher at FPT Software AI Center Lab, working with Prof. Anh Nguyen. In 2021, I received my honors bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of Information Technology-Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM), where I was supervised by Prof. Le Dinh Duy. (Honors programs offer special curricula, privileges, scholarships, and recognition for exceptional undergraduate students)

I have multiple years of experience working in the industry as an AI Research Engineer at renowned AI companies in Vietnam, including MoMo M-Service JSC (a unicorn), FPT Software, and VinBrain (Acquired by NVIDIA).

My research interests include:

• Computer Vision: Out-of-Distribution Generalization.
• Robotic Vision: Multimodal models for robotic vision, including text-driven robotic vision tasks.
• Medical Imaging: Semi-Supervised Learning for medical segmentation.
