Bio

I am a research scientist at Google. Before coming to Google, I was a research lead at Samsung Research America, a research scientist at Meta AI, and a researcher at NTU. I graduated with a Ph.D. in computer science from Dartmouth College, an M.Sc. in computer science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a B.Sc. in Information Technology from Ho Chi Minh city University of Science. My research interests are computer vision, machine learning and computer graphics, with specific interests in video understanding, representation learning, and vision for robotics.
