About
I am an undergraduate student majoring in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at the School of Information and Communication Technology (SoICT), Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST).
I am a Research Assistant at the Computational Intelligence Optimization Laboratory (CIO Lab), supervised by Prof. Huynh Thi Thanh Binh and MSc. Ho Viet Duc Luong. My work focuses on evolutionary and metaheuristic methods for complex combinatorial optimization problems, alongside machine learning and deep learning approaches for routing and wireless sensor networks.
My broader research interests include artificial intelligence, optimization, and bioinformatics. I have worked on LLM-based agentic optimization frameworks that integrate MILP solvers with heuristic search, as well as computational methods for multi-omics learning, drug response prediction, and protein-ligand modeling, including virtual screening and binding pocket prediction.
Open to research opportunities
Summer 2027I am currently seeking Research Assistant and M.Sc. opportunities beginning in Summer 2027. I welcome a broad range of research directions, including but not limited to artificial intelligence and optimization, and am particularly interested in interdisciplinary problems with meaningful real-world impact.
