I graduated from the MS in Mechanical Engineering–Research program at Carnegie Mellon Univeristy. I was advised by Zac Manchester as a member of the Robotic Exploration Lab, in the Robotics Institute. I worked with Jesus Tordesillas and Marco Hutter in the Robotic Systems Lab, ETH Zurich within the Robotics Student Fellowship.
Previously, I graduated with a BS in Control Engineering and Automation–Talent Program from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST). I have ~2 years of experience in autopilot systems with Viettel Aerospace Institute.

My PhD goal is to address fundamental robotics problems where I can (i) leverage structure for efficient and generalizable modeling and decision-making, e.g. contact-rich manipulation, and (ii) close the loop between offline design and online adaptation, e.g. sim<->real. I am driven by structured scaling for robot learning to enable data efficiency, high performance, and out-of-distribution generalization—key steps toward achieving embodied intelligence
I am seeking PhD positions beginning Fall 2025!
