My research interest lies in the adaptation of core language technologies for low-resource settings. Over hundreds of languages spoken around the world, the money and effort in NLP research are heavily skewed towards only a few, while the rest receive considerably less attention. This phenomenon further exacerbates the already alarming social inequality between countries, as technological breakthroughs are concentrated on just the majority languages, leaving languages spoken by smaller communities rather undeveloped. My research aims to address the current challenges in Vietnamese NLP research. One specific aspect I would explore is the tasks of constructing, completing and expanding large-scale knowledge bases (KB) from textual data. In the age where a plethora of data becomes available digitally, my goal is to kickstart downstream applications and research by extracting knowledge from those textual sources and organizing them into structured representations. Our government, businesses and researchers currently possess an unprecedented amount of raw text data; and it is imperative that techniques and methods are developed so that those data can be leveraged efficiently.

My research interests include dermatological problems and the application of advanced biomaterials in transdermal delivery. In particular, I would like to take a deep dive into transdermal drug delivery, which, I believe, has the least side effects on human body and hence the most patient-friendly drug form. However, the complications of drug permeation through human skin make it a huge challenge. Using nanotechnology to make a more precise diagnosis, targeted treatment and improve the effectiveness of dermatological drugs is one of my current focuses.

I am a mathematics and numbers aficionado. Upon graduation from my university with a major in economics and business, I was determined to work in a field where I could apply miracles of mathematics into the business setting to solve real-world problems. As you might expect, I spent years working in tech start-ups where there are wealthy sources of data and data-driven innovations take place every day. My past working experience enabled me to understand clearly the enormous impact of technology on Vietnamese people’s lives and figure out the goal for my career. My career passion is in the mobile payment industry. Not only is the mobile payment service helping poor people increase their income or save their money but also potentially enhances the global presence of one country. Developing this field is working towards my dream. It is to narrow down the gap between the rich and poor in Vietnam and develop a Vietnamese payment brand that appears globally as Alipay does.

I find it fascinating that life starts from a single cell, the most fundamental biological unit. What is even more remarkable is how much we have yet to learn after decades of research. There are countless mechanisms to maintain the integrity of a living being. My interest lies in identifying factors that orchestrate cell activities and intercellular communications under a pathological state. My future project will focus on molecular genetics in cancer. What causes a cell to become cancerous or an immune cell to become dysfunctional? What are the signature genes that distinguish diseased cells from healthy cells? These are some of the many questions that might give us insights into potential therapeutic targets and solutions for the current challenges in cancer treatment.

I am interested in motion which involves control, autonomy, and sustainability. My goal is to enable robotic systems to achieve greater safety, robustness, efficiency, and agility in uncertain environments. Recent advances in machine learning and available enhanced sensing and computing capabilities have sparked interest in learning and data-driven approaches. But, in safety-critical applications, the question of the reliability and explainability of these mysterious methods arises. Control theory and optimization (e.g., model predictive control) have always maintained their significance and trustworthiness by utilizing rigorous criteria and mathematical proofs to derive the solution. Thus, my research bridges ideas from control theory, machine learning, and optimization in a unified framework to develop practical answers to real-world problems in autonomous vehicles and robotics. I have worked on different control methods and leveraged them to augment reinforcement learning of dynamical systems. Technology is full of surprises and I am willing to explore new perspectives.
