Course development
2025-2026:
"NT2204 - Advanced Distributed Computing Systems" [Course's Info]
Course Level: Master of Science at VNUHCM-UIT
Description: This course examines the theoretical foundations and practical challenges of building robust distributed systems at scale. The course covers cloud-native architectures, serverless computing, distributed intelligence, and dataflow models. It also emphasizes consensus mechanisms, cross-node scheduling, and secure, resilient design across edge–cloud systems.
"NT2203 - Advanced Internet of Things Technology" [Course's Info]
Course Level: Master of Science at VNUHCM-UIT
Description: This course explores modern IoT systems with a focus on edge intelligence, TinyML, and digital twin–enabled architectures. The course examines how intelligent IoT applications are designed and deployed under real-world constraints such as latency, memory, energy, bandwidth, and privacy, moving beyond cloud-centric solutions. Students develop practical system-level understanding through hands-on projects involving deployable edge intelligence.
"NT549 - Reinforcement Learning for Network Systems" [Course's Info]
Course Level: Undergraduate at VNUHCM-UIT
Description: This course introduces the fundamental principles and techniques of Reinforcement Learning (RL) with a focus on applications in computer networks and communications. Students will learn how RL agents make decisions through interaction with dynamic environments, and how to implement RL algorithms such as Q-learning, Deep Q-Networks (DQN), policy gradient methods, and actor–critic techniques. Emphasising practical implementation and conceptual understanding, the course prepares students to design and evaluate RL-based solutions for networked systems.
2020:
"A Short Course of Introduction to Internet of Things Technology".
Course Level: Undergraduate at VNUHCM-UIT
Description: Introducing the general architecture of an IoT-based solution, common hardware and open source software in the development of IoT solutions, designing and implementing IoT prototypes, e.g., smart home, smart classroom.
Mentoring activities
2024 - 2025: Mentor at Memorial University, Canada.
