Research overview

My research focuses on plasma physics and fusion energy, with experience spanning experiments, particle-in-cell simulations, and scientific inference. I have worked on laser-wakefield acceleration at Imperial College London, high-energy physics simulations at SLAC, fusion diagnostics at MIT and Pacific Fusion, and neutral-beam-injection modeling at Realta Fusion. These projects have shaped my interest in computational plasma physics and reliable research software.

Outside research

I enjoy anime and cooking Vietnamese dishes that remind me of home and my childhood in Ho Chi Minh City.
