About
I am a Lecturer and Researcher at the Hanoi School of Business and Management (HSB), Vietnam National University, Hanoi. With over 10 years of experience in telecommunications and AI research, my work focuses on Visible Light Communication (VLC), AI Agentic Systems, and IoT for Smart Agriculture. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Palermo, Italy as an EU H2020 Marie Curie Fellow, where I developed intelligent management systems for hybrid VLC/RF networks, earning the Best Poster Award at ACM MobiCom 2023. Currently, I am developing AGRIFARM-AI, an autonomous precision farming platform using multi-agent reinforcement learning.
