Hi! I’m Hoang. I’m a first year CS PhD student at the University of Warwick where I was fortunately supervised by Prof. Long Tran-Thanh. Before that, I spent 6 months as Research Assistant at VinUniversity working with Prof. Khoa D Doan. Prior to that, I was an AI resident at FPT Software AI Center where I was advised by Prof. Long Tran-Thanh, Prof. Dung Le Duy, and Dr. Anh Ta-The. Previously, I was a member of Data Science Lab in Hanoi University of Science and Technology where I earned my Engineering Degree in Computer Science.

Research: My research interests include but are not limited to:

  • Trustworthy AI: I focus on investigating the robustness of models against backdoor attacks. Besides, I am interested in watermarking models or generated data.
  • Efficient Deep Learning: I am interested in improving model training/deployment through neural network pruning/compressing and utilizing synthetic datasets.
