BiographyHi, I'm a Computer Science PhD student at Johns Hopkins University, where I have the privilege of working with Prof. Anand Bhattad.Prior to JHU, I was an AI Research Resident at Qualcomm AI Research, under the mentorship of Principal Scientist Anh Tran and Prof. Cuong Pham. During my undergraduate at VNU-HCMUS, my research passion got nurtured by Prof. Tran Minh Triet. My past research focused on efficient generative models for visual generation: image editing, inpainting, and personalization. My current research explores physics-informed video generation models, which enable physics realism in generated videos, and 3D physics simulation, which enables dynamic physics on static 3D representations. |
