Hey there! Duong M. Nguyen is currently a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign under a joint supervision of Prof. Alexander Schwing and Prof. Zhizhen Zhao.

Prior to UIUC, he obtained his B.Sc. degree (advanced program) at the Hanoi University of Science and Technology under the supervision of Prof. Phi Le Nguyen and was a research assistant in Institute for AI Innovation and Societal Impact (AI4LIFE).

Duong’s research interests are centered around machine learning and its application, particularly trustworthy and efficient systems. His research spans a variety of topics: (1) trustworthy machine learning, including model efficiency, robustness, and scalability; (2) generative modeling, spanning both theoretical foundations and practical applications. He has experienced in machine learning - driven solutions for healthcare imaging and agentic security.

He was honored to receive the Best Presentation Award in Graduation Thesis Defense at the Hanoi University of Science and Technology.
