Since 2021, I've had the privilege of serving as a Graduate Assistant in Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland, College Park, guided by the esteemed Prof. Abhinav Shrivastava. My journey into the realms of research and artificial intelligence began at VinAI Research, Vietnam, where I contributed as a Research Engineer and AI Resident, under the mentorship of Prof. Minh Hoai. This path was set in motion after earning my B.S. in Computer Science in 2018 from the University of Science, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, with Prof. Minh-Triet Tran providing invaluable guidance.

My academic and professional endeavors have been enriched by collaborations with esteemed colleagues at VinAI Research, Adobe Research, Amazon.com and especially with Khoi Pham at UMD (now with Meta), whose insights and support have been pivotal. On a personal note, my journey would not have been possible without the unwavering support of my wife, Quynh Phung, whose encouragement has been my constant source of strength.

My research passion centers on computer vision, with a strong emphasis on enhancing image understanding through user interactions. I am currently exploring the transformative role of Large Language Models in vision tasks, particularly in advancing image retrieval. My previous work delved into interactive segmentation, where I pursued cutting-edge techniques for highly detailed segmentation and matting, pushing the boundaries of precision and clarity.

My research has also extended into medical image analysis, 3D human pose estimation, image segmentation and object detection, reflecting my broad interest in applying computer vision across diverse challenges.
