I'm currently cooking MASc Biomedical Engineering at University of Toronto (#1 Canada) and UHN (Canada's #1 Hospital). In the past, I was a Valedictorian at Vietnam National University HCMC (#1 Vietnam), then I was screwed at FH Aachen and RWTH Aachen (Germany's #1 UAS and #2 Universität). My educational background is a mix of Econ, CS and BME.
My research is business-oriented and spans 3 pillars: Speech-Language Processing, Multimodal LLMs, Medical AI. Most of my papers have been commercialized 💰
I feel grateful to be supervised by: Prof. Hermann Ney (world's #1 Speech Recognition researcher, h-index 110), PD Ralf Schlüter (h-index 50), Prof. Truong-Son Hy (UChicago), Prof. Anh Totti Nguyen (Rising star, 10k citations), PhD Nguyen X. Khanh (IOI Medalist, Princeton & UC Berkeley), PhD Thanh Nguyen-Tang (Johns Hopkins).
I speak Vietnamese, English, German (C1) and can read French, Dutch at some degree. I lived in Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam, spent 7 years in Germany, and now in Toronto - Canada. To be a Canadian next year 😇
Fun facts about me:
-
I'm proud to be a prisoner at Nguyễn Khuyến Prison.
-
I used to love a girl for 10 years 😢 and she's the only relationship I had - she was in top X of Miss Vietnam (Hoa hậu Việt Nam). Then mama forced me to marry a Miss Business Vietnam (Hoa hậu Doanh nhân Việt Nam) but I escaped just a few days before the wedding 😂 Thought I’d never catch feelings twice, but thank Buddha, now I’m crushing hard on a 19-year-old cutie 🥰
-
My estimated IQ was ~120-130.
-
Most people think I'm a highschool student. Thanks mom for giving me a cute face!
-
I burned my school when I was in grade 7.

Try'na never lie, never get angry, never hurt anybody
