About me
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies at University of Columbia, Missouri. I hold an M.A. degree in English linguistics from Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam and an M.Ed degree in Global and Educational Change from Lehigh University, PA, U.S.A. In addition to my Ph.D. studies, I work as a research assistant in the IE lab, part of the School of Information Science and Learning Technology, Mizzou. I also work as an intern in economic analysis at Missouri Small Business and Technology Development Center. My research interests include game-based learning, GIS for educational purposes, environmental education, and UX design, information science, and quantitative research with large scale data.

Residency plan
Professional goal
My goal is to become a faculty member or a researcher in data science in online learning and information science or in human computer interactions. I have been interested in quantitative research with large scale data and learning analytics thanks to the statistics classes I have taken in the past three years. Recently, I was awarded the LIS Education and Data Science for the National Digital Platform (LEADS-4NDP) fellowship which holds promise to train and enhance my expertise in applying data science techniques in information science. I also would like to apply the skillsets on UX design and usability acquired through my work as a graduate assistant at the Information Experience Lab (IE Lab) in my future work. I plan to complete my Ph.D. by Summer 2020 and work as either a postdoc, a faculty member, or a researcher.
