This blog will include the summary of my life until now - I hope it can help you make connections and make your pathway.
Current Status (November 2024):
Research Assistant in AI at a Hanoi university
HCMUT graduate (GPA: 3.6/4.0)
Published 2 papers in AI (as co-author)
Focus areas: NLP and Multimodal AI
The Beginning - Thuc Hanh High School-HCMC
While initially dreaming of becoming a teacher, I got curious about computer science in my final year. To test the waters, I took a C++ summer course – my first step into programming that changed everything.
University Life at HCMUT (Bach Khoa)
Years 1-2: Built my foundation with computer science basics – math, computing, and statistics.
Year 3: Discovered my passion for AI through a help from a friend. My first course in AI was Andrew NG's Machine Learning course, which set my current career direction.
Final Year: Completed two internships and wrote my thesis (scored 9.62/10.0), which led to my first publication.
I publish my thesis as a paper in a workshop. Here is the link: My paper
Where I Am Now After graduation
I stayed in academia as a research assistant, diving deeper into AI research. Looking back, it's amazing how that simple C++ course led me to where I am today in AI research.
