Tin Nguyen

🎓 I'm Tin Nguyen, currently pursuing my PhD in Computer Science at Auburn University, working with Anh Totti Nguyen.

I am exploring: human-computer interaction (Agents, Grounding, Personalization), hallucination detection & mitigation approaches, though my interests extend beyond these areas.

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

Feel free to reach out via ngthanhtinqn@gmail.com or ttn0011@auburn.edu

I'm looking for research internship opportunities around AI Agents, HCI, Grounding, Hallucination Mitigation, Personalization 👀 Please email me if you think I'd be a good fit — ngthanhtinqn@gmail.com or ttn0011@auburn.edu 😊

"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];
  • explain its reasoning in ways humans can inspect and edit [NAACL'24];
  • perceive and act in the user's environment through multimodal understanding [KBS'23];

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.
