Hi πŸ‘‹ ! I am Hoai-Chau Tran, a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I am advised by professor Heng Ji (UIUC) and professor Khoa D Doan (VinUniversity). Before that, I received my Bachelor degree from VNU - Ho Chi Minh City University of Science in 2018.

My (current) research focuses on the intersection of machine learning and engineering, with particular emphasis on efficient foundation models (SAM, LLMs, ,etc), EdgeAI and AutoML.
