Welcome to Dr. Duy Duong-Tran's personal webpage

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). Previously, I served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, following my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University. My research resides at the intersection of network neuroscience, biomedical Natural Language Model (NLP), mathematical modeling, and Neuro-AI. Below is my Research Dashboard:
