About

Bridging AI Research with Real-World Impact

I am a Software Engineer at BIDV, where I contribute to reliable digital banking software. Alongside my engineering work, I pursue research in Artificial Intelligence at FPT School of Business & Technology, FPT University.

My main research direction is Active Inference (AIF), particularly how intelligent agents can reason and adapt their actions under uncertainty. I am also interested in applying Large Language Models to practical software systems.
