AI/ML Researcher
Hi, I’m Duong, an AI/ML researcher at the ETH AI Center / Institute of Neuroinformatics in Zurich, working at the intersection of machine learning, neural data analysis, and human–computer interaction. I completed my PhD in June 2026 under the supervision of Luc Van Gool and Benjamin Grewe.
I have over 7 years of experience developing scalable AI models, data science pipelines, and machine learning systems across multimodal datasets including images, video, audio, text, and neural data, supported by 10+ years of programming experience.
This year, I was a research intern at Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, where I worked on LLM-based agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and evaluation frameworks for large language models, focusing on reliability, grounding, and performance on large biomedical datasets.
Currently, I am exploring industry opportunities where I can apply AI research and large-scale data analysis to real-world problems. If you’d like to connect, collaborate, or discuss opportunities, feel free to reach out via email or LinkedIn.

At the ETH AI Center, I greatly enjoy collaborating across disciplines — from neuroscience and psychology to hardware, education, and computer vision — together with both academic and industry partners. My research interest is to (1) develop new data science methods on multimodal data, (2) build Machine Learning models inspired by the brain, and (3) contribute to human-computer-interfaces.
