What we do
What we do
Research conducted at the MachIne learNing, Discrete estimation, bioinFormatics, and BUddhism Learning (MINDFUL) Lab at University of Science, Ho Chi Minh city provides fundamental mathematical understanding of, and theoretically optimal and computationally efficient solutions for problems in group testing, machine learning, cancer genomics, identifying/discriminating codes, and blockchain. Beyond scientific research, we work on philosophy with a focus on Buddhism and I Ching.
