Hi, welcome to my page :milky_way:!

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Luxembourg, where I worked on robust and generalizable deepfake detection under the supervision of Prof. Djamila AOUADA. My research interests include Robust Perception, Visual Forgery Detection, Autonomous Driving, and Recommendation Systems.

Prior to my PhD, I worked as a Technical Lead and Product Owner at VinAI Research (acquired by Qualcomm AI Research), where I led perception projects for autonomous driving. I also have prior experience in applied ML and software engineering across Vietnam and Japan.

Besides, I am also a petite Dad of my baby :orange:, a Freethinker :cloud:, a Sing-lover, and a Health enthusiast :running:.
