About me

I am an incoming PhD student in Systems Engineering and Engineering Management at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I am currently a Research Assistant at VinUniversity, where I study continual learning and efficient model adaptation.

Previously, I was a Research Assistant at Pusan National University and Hanoi University of Science and Technology. My earlier work focused on personalized federated learning and federated domain generalization.
