Honored to serve as a judge for the ICPC North America South Division this year! 🏆💻
I am working on proposing and reviewing contest problems. After coaching the UAB team last year, I'm excited to contribute from the judging side this time.
📅Contest day: Nov. 7, 2026
Proud to co-organize the Alabama High School Programming Contest! 🇺🇸
High school students across Alabama tackled 8 algorithm & data structure problems in 3 hours. I designed 4 of the most challenging problems.
Many thanks to members from HySonLab for supporting the contest!
Honored to be named the inaugural Phyllis and David Brasfield Endowed Faculty Scholar in Computer Science at UAB. Grateful for the support and excited to keep contributing to UAB and our students. 🇺🇸
My new solo-authored work: "Q-BioLat: Binary Latent Protein Fitness Landscapes for QUBO-Based Optimization". I hope to extend this direction toward quantum computing for drug discovery.

New work from HySonLab at IEEE IRI 2026:
We develop an LLM-driven multi-agent framework that transforms SQL databases into structured knowledge graphs, enabling more efficient querying and achieving around 3x faster database access.

🇺🇸 Today marks 10 years since I first arrived in the United States.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunities this country has given me, from studying at UChicago and UC San Diego, to working at Google and Facebook, and now building HySonLab at UAB.
Thank you, America! 🇺🇸
Great news! Our Multi-Agent AI for Industrial IoT work has been accepted in IEEE Access (Q1, H-index 338). Congrats to Rebin Saleh, Khanh Pham Dinh & Prof. Balazs Villanyi! 🇭🇺 Especially meaningful to give back to Hungary through research and education.
Proud to have been part of UC San Diego, where I started my academic career as a Lecturer and Postdoctoral Fellow. Congratulations, UCSD!
UC San Diego continues to rank among the best universities in the world. 🌎
We’re proud to rank No. 4 among U.S. public universities, No. 14 among all U.S. universities and No. 20 in the world in the 2026 Academic Ranking of World Universities. 🔗 bit.ly/4wZSMyp

A warm welcome to Dr. Huu Phong Nguyen, our new Postdoctoral Scholar at HySonLab! He will work on medical image processing and multi-omics integration, strengthening our vision for AI in biomedicine and precision medicine. Thanks to UAB CS for the support!
Grateful for this thoughtful recommendation from Nikhil, one of my former Master's students. Seeing students grow into independent thinkers and researchers is one of the most rewarding parts of academia. Thank you, Nikhil!
Our paper has been accepted to the EMNLP 2026 Industry Track! EMNLP is one of the leading conferences in NLP. This is the second paper from my student Quy Anh's MSc thesis and a collaboration between Knovel Engineering and HySonLab.
ORCID now records 120 peer reviews across 30 international journals I have served. Many are Q1 journals.
The actual number is higher, as not all journals report reviews to ORCID.
