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.
