About Me

I am a Machine Learning Engineer at Meta, with experience in different areas of Natural Language Processing, Autonomous Driving, Knowledge Graphs, and Field Data.

Prior to Meta, I worked for Bosch from 2017 to 2023 in different research and development projects in the areas of autonomous driving, digitalization, and quality management. During that time, I took different roles: AI engineer, product owner, software architect, workstream leader (a title for someone who leads a sub-project), and (applied) ML scientist. My last role there was senior expert / staff engineer (German: fachreferent) in data science projects for quality management. At Bosch, I also supervised and co-supervised 5 Master students and 1 PhD student, all in the topic of Machine Learning in Automobile domain.

Before joining industry, I pursued my PhD at the L3S lab, under the supervision of Prof. Wolfgang Nejdl. I hold a doctoral degree (Dr.rer.nat) in Computer Science from the Leibniz University of Hannover (magna cum laude); my topic was about temporal text mining on social media analysis and digital preservation using graph-based methods. During my PhD study, I worked in different publicly funded research projects (EU FP7 and DFG) as a researcher and developer.

In 2016, I visited IBM Research Ireland and participated in the project Debater, contributing to developing an informattion extraction method for decision gisting from meeting dialogues.

I hold a Master degree in Computer Science from Max-Planck Institute for Informatics and Saarland University under the supervision of Prof. Gerhard Weikum. My Master thesis was about rendering timeline for an entity at scale using knowledge graphs and parallel processing.

I was born in Hanoi, Vietnam; and now I live in a small town in the southern of Germany with my wife and two litte girls (Vy and Lea). Before the parenthood, I loved travelling and jogging, and country music.
