Hi! I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Vanderbilt University, TN, advised by Prof. Taylor T. Johnson and Prof. Kevin Leach. My research focuses on enhancing AI’s robustness, generalizability, and trustworthiness and the intersection of these topics, especially in federated learning and computer vision. Previously, I received my Bachelor’s degree from School of Information and Communication Technology at Hanoi University of Science and Technology in October 2022. I have always loved pushing myself to go beyond my limits, and I am definitely a lifelong learner.
