Bio. I am an incoming tenure-track assistant professor in Department of Data Science, Ying Wu College of Computing at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). I am currently a postdoc at Johns Hopkins University (with Raman Arora). Prior to that, I did my PhD in Computer Science at the Applied AI Institute, Deakin University, Australia, my M.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea, my B.Eng. in Electronic and Communication Engineering (Talented Engineering Program) at Danang University of Science and Technology, Vietnam.

Research Interest. I am broadly interested in theoretical and algorithmic foundations of machine learning, with a current focus on sequential decision making (RL/online/bandit/games and their interactions with language models/economics/finance) and responsible AI (robustness, privacy, safety).
