Hello, I'm Quang Nguyen

I am an AI Research Resident at VinAI Research, with primary research interests in generative models. My research interest focuses on: improving controllability, quality, and real-world applicability of text-guided generative models and ensuring the ethical and secure use of generative AI. Prior to joining VinAI, I completed my B.E. degree in Computer Science at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), Vietnam. Email: quangngcs (at) gmail (dot) com

I am actively looking for PhD position in Fall 2025
