Ph.D. Student @ UW-Madison ยท Working on |
I am a second-year CS Ph.D. student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Previously, I was an AI Research Resident supervised by Prof. Minh Hoai, Prof. Cuong Pham, and Dr. Tuan Anh Tran at Qualcomm AI Research (formerly VinAI Research). In Summer 2025, I interned at Sony R&D Lab, working on gallery-based image restoration.
I received my B.Sc. in Computer Science from Ho Chi Minh City University of Science (HCMUS) under the supervision of Dr. Ngoc-Thao Nguyen and Prof. Minh-Triet Tran.
My research interests lie in Generative Models, particularly Video diffusion models, 3D/4D Generative frameworks, and Image Restoration.

Highlighted Research
Introduces a novel unpaired reference-based deblurring framework for camera-specific image restoration, eliminating the need for controlled data collection or paired supervision. The method leverages an iterative dense-matching training strategy to construct high-quality pseudo ground truth, enabling robust generalization across diverse real-world blur scenarios.
Introduces a novel framework to train camera-specific image deblurring algorithms by transforming challenging real blurry images into known blur kernels using only unpaired data, simplifying the deblurring process and demonstrating superior performance on benchmarks.
Tackles image-to-video deblurring, resolving sequence order ambiguity using a self-supervised method. Also introduces a diverse real blur-to-video image dataset (RB2V) covering domains like faces, hands, and streets.
