Short Academic Biography

I graduated my engineer of Information Technology from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2005. In 2007, I have MS degree of Information Processing and Communication from HUST. I received my Ph.D. degree of “Computer Science” from Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA), France in 2011. I am currently a lecturer/researcher at Speech Communication Department, MICA International Research Institute, Hanoi University of Science and Technology.
