About me

Xin chào! 🇻🇳

I'm Binh (Quang-Binh Nguyen), an AI Research Resident at Qualcomm AI Research, Vietnam, mainly working with Dr. Khoi Nguyen on controllable visual generative models. I received my B.S. in Information Technology (Honors Program) from VNU-HCM University of Science, advised by Prof. Minh-Triet Tran and Dr. Trung-Nghia Le.

My long-term dream is to build embodied AI that becomes genuinely useful to a person by understanding them over time: not just a machine that completes tasks, but a collaborator that makes a life happier.

Research interests

I work toward personalized intelligence, from the digital world to the physical one.

Picture a home robot helping an elderly person. The capability that matters is not better perception in the moment; it is memory of this person, built from ordinary observation and turned into timely, reliable help. I see this as one problem viewed from three sides:

The robot watches and remembers: she reaches the top shelf with ease.
  1. Understanding people and the things around them

    How can a system learn a specific person or object from only a few examples, well enough to generalize to situations it has never seen rather than memorizing what it was shown?

  2. Understanding the machine

    How do we interpret a model's internal structure well enough to extend it to new tasks, without retraining and without losing what it could already do?

  3. The interaction itself

    How is a working relationship between a person and a machine actually formed, and what makes that collaboration effective and reliable?

  4. Looking ahead: personalized intelligence in the physical world

    What should a robot remember about a person from weeks of ordinary life? What should it do with that memory: act, ask, or wait? And how do we know its help was actually good?
