I am a fifth-year ACO (Algorithms, Combinatorics & Optimization) Ph.D. candidate at the Georgia Tech ISyE department. I am very fortunate to be advised by Professor Siva Theja Maguluri.
Prior to my graduate studies, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Computational Sciences with a concentration in Mathematics & Operations Research at Minerva University.
For any inquiry, contact me at hnguyen455 (at) gatech (dot) edu. Here is my CV and my 2-page resume.
I am on the 2026–2027 job market!
