Tin Nguyen (Kevin)

🎓 I'm Tin Nguyen, currently pursuing my PhD in Computer Science at Auburn University, working with Anh Totti Nguyen. During this time, I also have the chance to work with Mohammad Reza Taesiri and Logan Bolton.
Before that, I was a Master's student at Sejong University, South Korea, working with Kim Yong-Guk and was a BS student at Ho Chi Minh University of Science, Vietnam, working with Ngoc Quoc Ly.

Outside the lab, I'm fueled by ⚽ soccer, 🏸 badminton, 🎸 guitar jams, and 🏋️ gym sessions — always up for a match or a conversation over ☕ coffee.

"I believe the next leap in AI is not just building smarter models, but bridging the gap between humans and AI — so they can truly collaborate." [click to expand]

For AI to be a real collaborator, it must:

ground its outputs in the user's context — highlighting where the evidence comes from [Arxiv'25] [see figure ▾]
explain its reasoning in ways humans can inspect and edit [NAACL'24] [see figure ▾]
perceive and act in the user's environment through multimodal understanding [KBS'23] [see figure ▾]

Today's large models are impressively general, but often opaque. My research works toward making them transparent, grounded, and collaborative — so that humans can trust, verify, and steer AI in real-world tasks.
