Thien-Trang Nguyen-Vu

Hi, I’m ThiΓͺn Trang πŸ‘‹ You can call me Trang 🩡

I’m currently a PhD student in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where I’m fortunate to be advised by Tim Dettmers. Previously, I worked at Qualcomm and was a Research Resident at VinAI Research.

I’m currently tinkering with coding agents. Before that, I spent time on continual learning, backdoor attacks, and MoE – which shaped my research philosophy: everything should be effective, efficient, and accessible. I’ve also worked on optimal transport and model fusion. I’m always happy to chat about any of this – or really anything; always love learning new things πŸ’—!

I also really love drawing and art in general – it’s always been a big part of my life, so I love talking about it (and love to discuss viewpoints on AI for art as well πŸ˜‰)!
