About Me
I’m currently a Ph.D. Candidate at University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia, where I work within 5G/6G Wireless Communications and IoT Networking Lab, specifically as part of the AI for Mobile Edge Networks (AI4MEN) Group, under the supervision of Prof. Hoang Dinh and Prof. Diep Nguyen.
Before this, I spent some time at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, working as a Research Associate.
In 2025, I received my M.Sc. research degree from UTS, working within the same research group and supervision as my current PhD study. Before that, in 2023, I obtained my B.Sc. degree from VNU-UET, Vietnam, majoring in electronics and wireless communication.
Research Interests
Recently, I’ve been working on Privacy-Preserving Deep Learning, focusing on integrating Homomorphic Encryption (HE) and Secure Multi-party Computation (SMPC) to emerging deep learning models. Alongside this, I have a strong interest in fundamental deep learning, particularly on Reinforcement Learning and Foundation Models Post-Training from a deeper theoretical perspective.
