About Me

I earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Ho Chi Minh University of Technology, VNU-HCM, where I worked with Professor Le Hong Trang on deep learning models for precipitation nowcasting from radar and satellite imagery. I am currently an AI Researcher at the Center for AI Research, VinUniversity, advised by Professor Tan Minh Nguyen on the training dynamics and geometric structure of modern neural architectures.

I am currently seeking Fall 2027 Ph.D. opportunities in Computer Science, particularly Theoretical Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics. Please feel free to contact me if there is a suitable opening.

Research Interests

Favorite Topics

  • Symmetry of Parameter Space
  • Training Dynamics
  • Stochastic Process
  • Diffusion Models
  • Convex Optimization
  • Geometric Deep Learning

I want to develop rigorous theoretical tools for understanding modern machine learning systems, especially how architecture shapes parameter spaces, how gradient-based training creates invariant quantities and long-term dynamics, and how geometric structure helps explain redundancy, connectivity, and generalization. I am also currently interested in stochastic processes and generative models, especially diffusion models.
