Nice to meet you!

Biography

Trung-Hieu Hoang is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) where he is working with Prof. Minh N. Do. Prior to UIUC, he obtained his B.Sc. degree (honors program) at the University of Science, VNU-HCM under the supervision of Prof. Minh-Triet Tran. His research focuses on developing computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) for AI in healthcare. This spans two directions: 1) making the ML model robust under test-time distribution shifts, via test-time adaptation and 2) developing novel CV/ML algorithms to advance machine vision perception in telehealth applications (e.g., detecting neurological disorders from videos, biosensors image processing, etc.). He was honored to receive the Best Paper Award at the 1st Workshop on Test-Time Adaptation: Model, Adapt Thyself! (MAT) in CVPR 2024, and the 2024 CSL-Instarecon Innovation Scholarship.

Working Experience

Samsung Research America, TX, USA June 2024 – September 2024

Student Internship at Mobile Processor Innovation Lab

Designing deep neural network architecture for multi-frame image processing algorithm.

Multimedia and Human Computer Interaction Group, SELab, University of Science, VNU-HCM June 2018 - September 2019

Research Assistant | Advisor: Prof. Minh-Triet Tran

We proposed and implemented a diagnostic support system that can help doctors to find diseases, abnormal marks, anatomical landmarks in human gastrointestinal tract. We also participated in several projects in computer vision and machine learning (Intelligence Traffic System - AI City challenge, Video Instance Segmentation – the DAVIS challenge (CVPRW); Life-logging).
