Classroom & laboratory
Teaching has followed the research: dependability and cloud modelling in Seoul, digital twins and autonomous flight at the aerospace institute, and now machine learning and digital transformation for engineers in Ho Chi Minh City. This page lists every course offering on record and every student whose thesis I supervised or co-supervised.
Enrolments are counted per section as recorded in the course files; a student taking two of my courses appears in both. The three graduate seminars in Seoul and Los Angeles carry no headcount in the record and are not included in that figure.
10 offerings of 8 distinct courses, newest first. 6 graduate and 4 undergraduate, with course codes, class codes and enrolment exactly as they appear in the course files.
Undergraduate machine learning and a graduate core course, all at HUIT in Ho Chi Minh City.

Mentoring that sits outside a course code, and the credential behind the lectureship in Vietnam.
Research programme
Project technical leader and lead researcher of the nine-year Excellent Research Center project funded by Korea's National Research Foundation (approximately KRW 7.7 billion, grant 2020R1A6A1A03046811), with a standing team of around 30 full-time M.Sc. and Ph.D. researchers. Most of the KADA theses on this page grew out of that programme.
Graduate R&D training
Lead researcher on this professional education project of the Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (2022–2027), designing and supervising graduate-level R&D projects on autonomous navigation, SLAM and deep reinforcement learning, sensor-data processing and reliable vehicle service infrastructures, and coordinating the student researchers who carried them out.
Credential
Certificate of Professional Development in the Professional Title Standards for University Lecturers, the national teaching credential required of university faculty in Vietnam, issued 7 November 2024 by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU-HCM (cohort 7, programme completed 16 August – 9 October 2024).
