I am on job market and am actively seeking Research Scientist/Research Internship positions. If you are interested in my profile, please feel free to contact me via email at thanhtul[at]uci[dot]edu or my LinkedIn page.

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine, advised by Professor Xiaohui Xie. My research focuses on Generative Models and 3D Vision, with a broader interest in developing robust Multimodal AI systems. I aim to create general-purpose World Models that can learn from rich visual data, enabling interactive and dynamic environments.

Research interests:

  1. Generative models
    • Diffusion Models, Flow Matching, Autoregressive, Masked Autoregressive Models, Hybrid Generative Approaches.
    • Video Generation, Diffusion Distillation, Generative Novel Views Synthesis, Diffusion-based Dense Estimation.
  2. 3D vision
    • Novel View Synthesis, 3D Shape Analysis and Representations, Neural Rendering (NeRF and 3DGS-based).
    • 2.5D Scene Representation: Depth/Normals Estimation.
    • Efficient Optimal Transport for 3D Shape Learning.
