Research Intern at Qualcomm AI
Research, working on efficient 3D generation with diffusion transformers — including SharpDepth (CVPR 2025), which sharpens metric depth boundaries. Featured in a Qualcomm blog
post.

Research at VinAI Research, supervised by Rang Nguyen, on making 3D scene understanding more
label-efficient and robust to real-world data. Collaborated with Binh-Son Hua, Phong Nguyen, and Khoi Nguyen. This led to semantic
scene completion work at AAAI 2025 and a
multi-view occupancy challenge entry.

bio
I work on spatial intelligence — how models perceive and reason about 3D space — across 3D scene understanding, metric depth, and vision-language models. Currently an MSc student in the MVA program at ENS Paris–Saclay.
pet projects
Smaller experiments on the side.
SwiftPolicy — score distillation on
diffusion policies for visuomotor control, built for the MVA robotics course with Ianis Hammani.
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 Gaussian Splatting
In my free-time, I also do some casual splatting. Check them out here.
