Welcome! I am a computer vision researcher developing deep learning methods for image restoration, low-level vision, and AI-driven industrial inspection systems. Currently, I am a Research Assistant at the Nano Bio Mechanics Lab, Pukyong National University, South Korea, working under the supervision of Prof. Junghwan Oh. At the same time, I am seeking fully funded PhD opportunities in Computer Vision and AI, with an expected start of Spring or Fall 2027.

I earned my M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Pukyong National University and my B.S. in Information Technology Engineering from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH). My academic work has been published in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, Computers & Electrical Engineering, Communications Medicine, and IEEE ICIT, among other venues. Prior to my graduate studies, I worked as an AI Engineer at FPT Software, where I deployed machine learning systems across manufacturing defect detection, pharmaceutical search, and industrial energy optimization.

I serve as a peer reviewer for Scientific Reports, IEEE Sensors, IEEE ICIT, Machine Vision and Applications, Discover Artificial Intelligence, and Discover Sensors. My profiles are available on Google Scholar and ORCID.
