I am Anh, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Virginia and a researcher focused on autonomous systems.
I develop learning algorithms that help autonomous systems perceive uncertain environments, learn useful representations and world models, and choose safe, effective actions. My interests include learning-enabled planning and control, adaptation from limited data, decision-making under uncertainty, and reliability under physical constraints.
I study how teams of autonomous agents divide work, exchange information, and coordinate decisions when their goals, capabilities, and information differ. This includes incentive design, distributed coordination, dynamic task allocation and delegation, negotiation, and mechanisms that make collective behavior efficient, robust, and aligned with system-level objectives.
I am shaping my research around autonomous systems.
Aug 2026 - Present
Conducting Ph.D. research on autonomous systems.
Advised by Prof. Ferdinando Fioretto (RAISE Lab).
Jun 2024 - Aug 2024
Developed quantitative models and extended PyLENM, an open-source environmental informatics package.
Advised by Prof. Haruko Wainwright (Haruko Group).
My live publication record is maintained on Google Scholar.
Outside of academia, I enjoy history, comics, travelling, and hiking. I am also a member of Outdoors at UVA. If you are UVa student and looking for fun stuff to do, please consider joining us :)
