I graduated from Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2008 with a PhD in Meteorology. Before moving to Japan in 2011, I served as deputy manager of numerical weather prediction (NWP) at National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting of Vietnam. From 2011 to 2020, I was a researcher at Japan Agency for Marine, Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). Since June 2021, I've joined the University of Tokyo as an assistant professor. At the same time, I have been a visiting researcher at Japan Meteorological Agency Meteorological Research Institute (JMA-MRI) since 2011. I am interested in applying mathematics and computational science to understand complex systems.
