⚛️ A QuantumAI.Cloud Researcher

My key research interests include quantum cloud computing deep reinforcement learning quantum machine learning quantum optimisation algorithms quantum and post-quantum security

🌏 Empowering Scholarly Professionals
As of February 2025, I established my professional community, IO Scholar Community to connect Vietnamese scholars, researchers, engineers, and tech experts from diverse backgrounds to share insights and collaborate on topics like research, deeptech, scholarships, and long-term career development.
At The IO Circle, we learn, share, experiment, and grow together in deeptech, help each other to pursue scholarships, Master’s and PhD, high-skilled jobs, and build your personal projects in Quantum, AI, Cloud, and emerging technologies. Together, we aim to inspire, optimize, and grow professionally.



HOAIO = Harmony Of Aspiration, Innovation, and Optimalism 😊
On Hoà IO Blog, I share personal reflections, useful tips, career and research insights, and thoughts on life, connecting with a broader Vietnamese audience in a relatable way. An English version of my personal blog is also available on Substack.
Meanwhile, QuantumAI.Cloud is my technical blog, where I dive into the technical depths, exploring cutting-edge topics like quantum computing, AI/ML, cloud technologies, and cybersecurity.
