Hi, I'm Thang, and my interests include natural language generation, data-to-text generation, knowledge bases, sentiment analysis, and image processing.

EDUCATION

2003 – 2008: I graduated from Dalat University with a Bachelor in Information Technology Engineering.

2012 – 2015: I graduated from Shinawatra University with a Master of Science in Information Technology under the guidance of Professor Chutiporn Anutariya. 

2019 – 2023: I was awarded a full CONACYT scholarship for the Computer Science Doctoral program at Instituto Politécnico Nacional. Professor Alexander Gelbukh is my advisor.

2021 – July, 2023: I completed my internship at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) under the guidance of Professor Soujanya Poria.
