I am a 5th-year Ph.D. student in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin since January 2021. I obtained his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Civil Engineering from Ho Chi Minh city University of Technology, after which I worked as a graduate research assistant and teaching assistant at the same university.
My current interests are in the broad areas of machine learning, numerical analysis, and scientific computing. I have developed the model-constrained deep learning approaches for accelerating both numerical simulations and inverse problems. At the heart of the model-constrained learning approaches is the combination of data randomization and differentiable physics model, leading to a low demand on training data, good generalization, long term prediction stability, and more. I invented the implicit neural representation machine learning approaches for solving challenges in geomodeling and geophysics inversion for the first time in academia and industry. Additionally, I also self-studied and worked on designing transformer architecture, generative models (VAEs, energy-based models, diffusion models), and foundation models.
Beyond machine learning, I proposed a data-informed active subspace framework and unified randomized algorithm for solving inverse problems.

I love coding and sharing useful tutorials with others. I recorded some useful tricks and tips during my Ph.D. journey in this Github repo. My favorite machine learning platform is JAX which allows my to work flexibly with machine learning, differentiable PDEs solver, and computation parallelism.
