Profile

Optimization research grounded in data science.

I am pursuing a B.Sc. in Data Science at HUST with a cumulative GPA of 3.79/4.00 and a most recent semester GPA of 3.94/4.00. My coursework spans machine learning, deep learning, optimization, and computer science.

As a Research Assistant at the Computational Intelligence Optimization Laboratory and BKAI, I work on evolutionary algorithms, heuristic and metaheuristic methods, and learning-based approaches for route and combinatorial optimization.
