Welcome to my homepage at Texas A&M University.
I was born in Da Nang city, Vietnam.
Currently, I am a Researcher and Lecturer at the Institute of Research and Development of Duy Tan University, Da Nang, Vietnam (with homepage https://ird.duytan.edu.vn/en/nhan-vien-9i3/47-mai-ti-na); and an Affiliated External Member of the Institute for Scientific Computation (ISC TAMU) with visits in 2018 – present (often 1 – 2 months per year), and a Visiting Scholar of the Department of Mathematics when visiting the ISC, Texas A&M University, College Station (TAMU).
My research interests are in applied mathematics, analysis, mechanics, materials science, modeling. In particular, my current work involves analysis of partial differential equations, multiscale methods, (Cosserat) nonlinear elasticity, kinetic theory, and deep learning.
I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the ISC, TAMU under the supervision of Yalchin Efendiev during September 2015 – August 2016, when I also had invited research visits at the University of Minnesota and short-term visits at the University of Texas at Austin.
In May 2015, I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics at TAMU with a dissertation on convexity in nonlinear elasticity, under Jay R. Walton, my Ph.D. advisor.
I received a B.S. in Mathematics-Informatics Teaching in 2007, at University of Education, Da Nang, Vietnam.
