Computer Systems, Machine Learning for IoT Security
So far, the hardware constraints and wireless communications of IoT have been the main challenges in security and privacy since existing technologies do not offer feasible and comprehensive solutions applicable to the nature of the IoT. In this context, security based on Machine Learning (ML) is a promising solution. However, existing studies in literature for securing IoT networks by Machine Learning are still at an early stage. Therefore, it is an urgent need to investigate this area further.

I am interested in the Molecular Biology because almost dangerous and incurable diseases come from molecular dysregulations. Throughout my two last years in the university, I was attracted to breast cancer based on its high mortality rate in both Vietnamese women and the world. Moreover, cancer is an inheritable disease so we can predict the pathological development and prevent in early stages. Currently, some Vietnamese organizations have started using genome sequencing data to apply in cancer prognosis and diagnosis. Therefore, my future study will help to analyze data, then figure out the association between molecular errors and patients’ pathology.

My major is biomedical engineering. This is an interdisciplinary field that provides you the tools for working in the harmony of both medicine and engineering. That means you are not only studying medical knowledge but also get the skills of an engineer. I love to explore new technologies and make the most of it to help people’s health. In my opinion, a biomedical engineer is like an artist who can skillfully utilize the best of both worlds – doctors and engineers to create innovative approaches to solve medical problems. Because of the limited regeneration capability of the patient’s own tissue and the lack of organ donor, biomedical engineering comes in the life and cooperates with our bodies to enhance the survival rate in recent years.
I choose to focus my research on the topic of cardiovascular disease and cancers, especially in using nanotechnology combined with tissue engineering. The project aims to develop chips that mimic the biological processes of cardiovascular diseases, which will allow testing new therapies freely without harming any living creatures and lessen the need for animal testing. We create and test the newest scientific products on the animal before achieving the necessary quality to put them on humans. Thus, for a future without animal testing in medicine, human can have a personal-designed testing chip for themselves, I choose to study more about this topic. In Vietnam, our reputation on producing high quality testing kits and good approaches for emerging pandemics have increased significantly.

Research Proposal: “A comprehensive framework for automated cybersecurity assessment, mitigation, and education using graphical security models”.
Every system has vulnerabilities. While the cybersecurity defenders have to patch every possible vulnerability to protect the system, an attacker may get access to the whole system with just one overlooked hole. The questions here are which holes are overlooked by the defenders and which way attackers use to get into the system. My research aims to answer those questions by using AI-based graphical security models to assess system security, suggest mitigation methods and use them as a tool for education.

Adversarial machine learning
Deep neural networks have achieved great success in various areas of applications, in particular computer vision and natural language processing. However, recent studies show that by adding small, human imperceptible changes to normal inputs, like subtly changing the pixel of an image, one can easily fool a well-trained network to make incorrect predictions. Such intentionally crafted inputs are called adversarial examples, which has raised security concerns about the vulnerability of deep neural networks, especially in safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving, face recognition or malware detection. I am interested in understanding adversarial examples’ behavior in deep neural networks, and thus devise algorithms to counter such examples.

I am always passionate about immunology. The main significance of my current project is to accelerate knowledge of immunology, especially of T cell development. As the immune system is weakened with age, the elderly are easier to contract infections. Promisingly, previous investigations successfully proved that Coronin 2a did play a role in enhancing the number of T cells. By investigating further into its function, this protein can be a potential candidate to design a drug to boost and maintain the immune system. Recently, an epidemic of the novel COVID-19 has emerged in the world. Like all other viruses, this viral disease is lethal to elder and immunocompromised people. For a bigger picture, I would like to research on a way to enhance and manipulate the immunity, a natural powerful weapon, to fight and treat different diseases.

Research Proposal: “Towards an effective solution for mobility management in Mobile Edge Computing”
As a prospective network paradigm proposed for the upcoming 5G networks, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is promising to facilitate real-time applications with ultra-low latency requirements and stringent Quality of Service constraints in the future generation of the Internet. Despite the prospective advantages, MEC also possesses new challenges, such as mobility management, computation offloading, resource allocation, and data caching. Since mobility is an essential and inevitable characteristic of MEC, maintaining service performance and guaranteeing connection when users are on the move is of vital importance, particularly with delay-intolerant applications. My research aims to develop effective strategies for seamless and transparent mobility management in MEC. It would be a combination of several on-going methods, ranging from mobility prediction, virtual machine migration, and optimization path selection for mobile traffic.

Right at that time, I got information of the CRYPTIS Program and I knew that it would be exactly the opportunity I have to grasp. Moreover, due to widespread usage of technology nowadays, I can see a world optimized with Information Security in the next few decades. With 2 incoming years studying at the University of Limoges, I believe that it would leave me well prepared for my lifetime goal as an inspiring Vietnamese youth exploring the scientific world.

My study will be focused on the field of Signal Processing, especially applied on Image Processing and Computer Vision problems. Signal can be found everywhere in our daily life; for example, an audio signal is a one-dimensional signal and an image is a multidimensional signal. In my study, I will work on algorithms and mathematical models, Wavelet theory for example, and apply them on these multidimensional signals acquired from devices, such as sensors or cameras, to extract information and features from these data, which then can be used to train a learning model. The results from these studies can then be used in many kinds of applications, such as object detection and motion tracking used in autonomous driving, image/video compressing, monitoring system, and also artificial intelligence problems. The beauty of these studies lies in the use of elegant mathematical theories and ideas to build, design, and implement algorithms and systems to solve some modern and practical problems existing in our society.

Nowadays machines can easily and efficiently replace humans in many repetitive and physical tasks, but struggle when assigned with more complicated and intellectually demanding jobs. The reason is simply because they are yet to fully understand human’s greatest invention, language. This is where Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology comes in, which is an area that focuses on helping computers be able to systematically interpret human language, therefore bridging the gap between human and machine intelligence. My research interests mainly revolve around NLP and its applications, including Information Retrieval, Machine Translation and Universal Language Model.
