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, 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 primary research interest lies in the field of computer vision, with a particular focus on 2D scene understanding. Currently, I am deeply engaged in exploring interactive segmentation, pursuing advancements in highly detailed segmentation, and delving into the intricacies of matting. Additionally, I am fascinated by the convergence of computer vision and natural language processing (NLP). My goal here is to harness the synergy between these domains to elevate our comprehension of visual content through the lens of language.

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