Hello!

I'm Hieu Tran, an NLP enthusiast focused on large language models & text generation

Get in touch heraclex12@gmail.com

Background

I'm currently a PhD student at University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), where my research interests lie in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Machine Translation. Previously, I was a Senior ML Engineer at BLACKBOX AI, specializing in cutting-edge research on large language models and their applications in code generation. With over five years of hands-on experience, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. I'm also a member of VietAI, advised by Minh-Thang Luong, where we focus on advancing artificial intelligence research in the Vietnamese community.

When I'm not in front of a computer screen, I'm probably swimming, watching movies, or taking my cute pets for a walk.
