Van-Hoang Le, Ph.D

I'm a Research Associate at The University of Newcastle, Australia. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hongyu Zhang.

I am interested in intelligent software engineering with a focus on NLP applications for software development, operation, and maintenance. My current research topics involve intelligent log analytics, robust and green applications of LLM, and efficient reliability management for real-time systems such as IoT.

I am the lead of the LogIntelligence project, which provides various solutions to intelligently manage and analyse logs for software-intensive systems using Deep Learning and Large Language Models.
