Thanh's research interests include image processing, computer vision and deep learning. Ph.D.'s advisor is Dr. George Nemetallah at Catholic University.
Develop novel algorithms and pipelines using image segmentation, registration, classification, computer vision and deep learning techniques to analyze images such cancer cell images, brain MRI, chest X-ray, lung CT.
Developed full field of view, high-resolution phase reconstruction using deep learning based Fourier Ptychographic Microscopy.
Developed an optical tomography based Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) and Transport of Intensity Equation (TIE) that can observer the internal structure-based refraction index of sample using Fourier Slice Theorem or Fourier Diffaction Theorem.
Used single/multiple wavelength technique in DHM to reconstruct the depth of a surface, breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231.
Worked on medical image segmentation (brain, liver, prostate, left ventricle) using deep learning.
