About Me

Xin chào vietnam icon ! I'm Huy, Research Master's student at Mila – Quebec AI Institute and University of Montreal, working with Prof. Aishwarya Agrawal on Multimodal Vision-Language research. I'm on my way to explore the world in every aspect through my viewpoint lens by becoming a researcher.

In my previous chapter, I earned my B.Eng. in Information Technology from the International University – Vietnam National University HCMC (HCMIU). During my undergraduate studies, I'm fortunated to work as an AI Engineer at VNG Corporation and AI Research Resident at FPT Software AI Center.
