I am a graduate student the MS in Mechanical Engineering–Research program at Carnegie Mellon Univeristy (CMU). I am advised by Zac Manchester as a member of the Robotic Exploration Lab, in the Robotics Institute. I am working on optimization-first approaches for real-time planning and control of robotic systems.

I am currently a Vingroup Scholar with the mission to lead and advance the development of science and technology in Vietnam in the future.

Previously, I graduated with a BS in Control Engineering and Automation (Talent Program) from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) where I was advised by Prof. Phuong Nam Dao. My undergraduate research focused on the intersection of control theory and reinforcement learning. Besides, I have two years of experience with Viettel Aerospace Institute as an Autopilot Engineer, where I collaborated with multiple teams on high-speed aerial vehicle development.
