MSc. in the Mathématiques, Vision, Apprentissage (MVA) program at École Normale Supérieure Paris–Saclay. Also researching how to improve spatial reasoning for VLMs with Shizhe Chen and Cordelia Schmid.

I was a research intern at Qualcomm AI
Research, working on efficient 3D generation with diffusion transformers — including SharpDepth (CVPR 2025), which sharpened metric depth boundaries and
gave reviewers one more reason to care about thin structures. Our work was also featured in a Qualcomm blog
post.

I was at VinAI Research, supervised by Rang Nguyen, trying to make 3D scene understanding more
affordable (less supervision) and more practical (more robust to messy real-world data). I had the pleasure to
collaborate with Binh-Son Hua, Phong Nguyen, and Khoi Nguyen. This era produced semantic
scene completion ideas that later escaped into AAAI 2025, and a
multi-view occupancy challenge entry that briefly made Southeast Asia look good on a leaderboard.

B.Eng in Computer Engineering at Ho Chi Minh University of Technology (Dai hoc Bach Khoa). This is where I learned that computers are mostly linear algebra with
good branding, and that sleep is a hyperparameter you can tune poorly.
bio
Greeting humans, I am currently a master student doing something (website in progress).
pet projects
Trying to do more stuff on the side. Thanks Cursor for helping me.
SwiftPolicy is a small playground for
testing score distillation on diffusion policies for visuomotor control — built for the MVA robotics course with
Ianis Hammani. It is embarrassingly simple and somehow still works, which is the best kind of research
software.
3D Semantic Occupancy from Surrounding View Images — a CVPR 2023 3D Occupancy Prediction
Challenge entry with Tuan Ngo, Tuan Ho, Khoi Nguyen, and Rang
Nguyen. We predicted voxel semantics from multi-view images and ranked 16 / ~200 teams — at
the time, the highest-ranked team from Southeast Asia on the leaderboard. See the challenge site.

Amateur blogging at the moment. Key audience is myself and potential recruiters.
