Hey there! Duong M. Nguyen is currently a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where he is working with Prof. Minh N. Do. 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).

His research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and healthcare, with a focus on three interconnected areas: (1) general machine learning, including model efficiency, robustness, and scalability; (2) generative modeling, spanning both theoretical foundations and practical applications; and (3) AI-driven solutions for healthcare, such as histopathological imaging, time-lapsed imaging, and cell growth analysis. He is particularly interested in leveraging advances in generative modeling to address the unique challenges of medical data, including sensitivity, scarcity, and variability, with the goal of building privacy-aware and computationally efficient AI systems accessible to all.

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