Personal Profile

Research Interests

I am currently interested in reinforcement learning and combinatorial optimization problems. I am also working on some classical machine learning and deep learning techniques for time series forecasting.

Previously, I worked on toric varieties, particularly on Eisenbud-Goto-type problems and spent most of my time on finding bounds for the k-normality and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of projective toric varieties. My doctorate supervisor is Milena Hering.

    Miscellaneous

    I'm quite keen on table tennis and played for the first team of the University of Edinburgh for a few years. I also play classical guitar. Here is a clip of me playing a Vietnamese folk song, arranged for classical guitar by Đặng Ngọc Long
