I'm currently cooking my 1st year in 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 FH and #2 TU). 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:
- Bachelor thesis: Prof. Hermann Ney (world's #1 Speech Recognition researcher, h-index 110), PD Ralf Schlüter (h-index 50)
- Research in industry: Prof. Truong-Son Hy (UChicago), Prof. Anh Totti Nguyen (Rising star, 10k citations), PhD Nguyen X. Khanh (Princeton & UC Berkeley), Prof. Thanh Nguyen-Tang (Johns Hopkins)
I speak Vietnamese, English, German (C1). 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 once loved a girl for 10 years but our happiness together lasted only 20 months 😢 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 😂 Hope to know what it truly means to love and be loved in the near future 🥰.

My estimated IQ was ~120-130.

Most people think I'm a highschool student. Thanks mom for giving me a cute face!

I spent all of my childhood imprisoned within an orphanage. So all my life, I just wanna scatter light and love across the world - for the happiness I was never given, for the pain never healed in me 😙
