About Me

I am a CTO and Co-Founder at Retrocausal, Inc., a Seattle-based startup building Intelligence for Occupational Analytics, Efficiency, and Training (Techstars Seattle 2020).

I was a Computer Vision/Machine Learning Researcher at NEC Laboratories America, Inc. in San Jose, CA from April 2015 to January 2020, working on 3D Scene Understanding with applications in Advanced Driver-Assistance System and Dashcam Video Analysis. Before that, I received my PhD degree in Computer Vision from the University of Adelaide, Australia under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Tat-Jun Chin and Prof. David Suter in December 2014, and obtained my BEng (Hons) degree from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam in April 2010.
