Bio

He is a fourth year PhD student at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Sai Kit YEUNG and graduated with a B.Sc. at Ho Chi Minh University of Science- VNU. Before his PhD, he was a research assistant at SUTD. He collaborates closely with Prof. Duc Thanh Nguyen, Prof. Binh-Son Hua.
His research interests include video understanding (video object segmentation, video inpainting), video generation, and knowledge distillation. Specifically, he is dedicated to representation learning in different research areas, including the representation of data instances and the representation of probability distributions in marine research.
