Giang Son Nguyen
Research Assistant in NLP.

Hi, my name is Son. I am a Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant at VinUniversity, where my research focuses on NLP.
I recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Data Science from Nanyang Technological University and was a Research Intern in AI (specifically VLMs) at Continental-NTU Corporate Lab. My graduate study was fully funded by the Vingroup Graduate Scholarship @ NTU.
Previously, I had three years of experience as a Data Analyst at One Mount. Before that, I did my Bachelor’s in Finance at National Economics University. (strange background, I know 😅 I can explain)
