I’m an incoming Computer Science PhD student at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where I’ll be working with Prof. Dongyeop Kang at the Minnesota NLP lab starting Fall 2026.

My research focuses on understanding human workflows to build cognitively-aligned AI assistants. I’m currently interested in developing cognitive metrics that capture human goals and quantify subtasks within complex workflows.

I’m completing my Bachelor’s degree in Data Science at UMN, where I’ve been a research assistant at the Minnesota NLP lab since 2024. My undergraduate research was recognized with a CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Researchers Honorable Mention.

Originally from Hanoi, Vietnam, I moved to the United States for college. Outside of research, I listen to K-pop to stay focused and unwind through dancing.
