PhD Physics

Professional Bio

I am in the Physics Ph.D. program at the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Minnesota. I also spent my undergraduate here working with Prof. Vuk Mandic's LIGO group in detector characterization, and monitoring during their third observing run (O3), which I am still going to work on during the upcoming run (O4). I am looking forward to exploring other related aspects of gravitational-wave physics (astrophysical, cosmological). The DSMMA program would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

Personal Bio

I am from Danang, Vietnam. The beaches and food are something I definitely missed since I arrived at the University of Minnesota. The Twin Cities have been kind to me so far. I enjoy the outdoors (running, camping, stargazing, etc.), and exploring the cities. My other hobbies include reading books and making coffee.
