I live in Maynooth with my wife and two kids. I got my Bachelor in Telecommunications in Vietnam and then did a PhD in Radio Engineering in South Korea in 2009. Then I went on to explore the world. Before coming to Ireland in 2014, I lived in Sweden and Finland. These journeys gave me a lot of interesting cultural experience. I love books, movies, soccer, gardening and of course maths.

My Typical Day: I'm not a morning person, so my kids sometimes wake me up!!! I start a day with a cup of coffee without sugar. Then breakfast, prepare lunch box for the kids, and walk them to school. Los of Zoom meetings during the day with my colleagues and my research group. Answer emails, read many documents or research papers and do admin duties.
