About me

Hi, thank you for stopping by my website

I earned my B.Eng degree in computer science from the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) - Vietnam National University in 2021. I was distinguished as the valedictorian of the Computer Science major during undergraduate studies.

I'm pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC, USA under the supervision of Dr. Jianqing Liu. My research areas focus on quantum sensing, quantum networking, and the design of quantum algorithms for combinatorial problems. In recognition of my achievements, I have received the Outstanding PhD Student Award and student travel grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

    Quantum Sensing

    Quantum Sensing is an advanced sensor technology that vastly improves the accuracy of how we measure, navigate, study, explore, see, and interact with the world around us by sensing changes in motion, and electric and magnetic fields.

    Quantum Networking

    Quantum networking is a field of technology that applies principles of quantum mechanics to create highly secure and efficient communication networks. It utilizes quantum entanglement and quantum key distribution to enable ultra-secure transmission of information, where any attempt at eavesdropping can be instantly detected.
