About Me

I am a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee—Oak Ridge Innovation Institute (UT-ORII), based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Within the Advanced Manufacturing for Affordable Building Construction Convergent Research Initiative (Buildings CRI), I develop computer vision and robotics methods for construction automation and quality inspection. My broader research connects visual perception with language, 3D scene understanding, and robotic manipulation.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Arkansas, working with Dr. Ngan Le. I earned my PhD in Computer Science there in 2024 under her supervision. Prior to that, I completed my MSc and BSc at Ho Chi Minh University of Science, Vietnam.
