Greetings. :heart_eyes:

I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

I recently found myself thrown into the world of network science, particularly in modeling and community detection in complex networks. I am blessed to be advised by Professor Tandy Warnow, who is both a great mentor and scientist.

Research My main research focus is network science. Previously, I studied the theoretical aspect of machine learning and related fields, especially deep learning, generative models, reinforcement learning, and many other cool things.

Past study I received my Bachelor’s degree from the Honors Program of the Department of Information Technology, University of Science, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCMUS) in Nov 2020. In 2021, I took graduate-level courses from a Master’s program at the John Von Neumann Institute, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (JVN) but did not finish the degree.

In my undergraduate years, I was a research assistant at the SELab, advised by Professor Minh-Triet Tran. After graduation and before joining UIUC, I was an intern/resident at VinAI Research, advised by Professor Minh-Hoai Nguyen, Professor Tung Pham, Professor Viet-Anh Nguyen, and Professor Nhat Ho. All of the people mentioned are those to whom I owe a debt of gratitude.
