ABOUT ME

I got my MS degree in Computer Science in 2015 from Saarland University where I have been supported by the International Max-Planck School for Computer Science (IMPRS). Before that, I received a BS in Computer Science from University of Engineering and Technology (a memeber of Vietnam National University Hanoi). My general research interests are in optimization, machine learning and computer vision.
My current focus is on non-convex optimization, in particular deep neural networks.
