About Me

Ahoy There!

My name is Vo-Huynh Quang-Nguyen (last name - first name), or Lucius Vo for short. I am an engineering and science enthusiast with an industrial background in Computer Vision (CV), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL).

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. program in Industrial Engineering and Management at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater (OSU). My research interests primarily include data science, computed intelligence, and computational architecture, with a focus on machine-vision-based and data-driven solutions to enable the smart manufacturing of semiconductor devices. I am proficient in Python, statistical analysis with SAS JMP, data retrieval and processing with SQL, and data visualization with Matplotlib and Seaborn. I also excel in digital image processing with OpenCV, ML/DL model development, and deployment with scikit-learn and TensorFlow. These proficiencies are exemplarily demonstrated by the Data Science projects I have completed, as well as the guest lectures I have given at various universities. More details about these projects can be found at my portfolio. Feel free to check this page if you are interested in my lectures, tutorials, and workshops.

Moreover, I have been a contributor to AI Vietnam since June 2021, which is one of the largest Vietnamese communities of AI enthusiasts. The community is co-led by Dr. Vinh Dinh Quang (currently tenuring at Vietnamese-German University) and Dr. Phuc Nguyen Hong (currently tenuring at Eastern International University).

I love writing a lot! Hence, you can find many posts where I share my experiences on how to learn English, how to start coding in several programming languages such as Python, how to prepare a good profile to apply for doctoral studies, as well as my commentaries on this page.

My Prior Life!

From April 2021 to December 2022, I worked at Intel Products Vietnam, an assembly/test manufacturing site belonging to Intel Corp located in Vietnam. My work at Intel Products Vietnam primarily comprised: (1) the development and deployment of automated inspection solutions for downstream processes; (2) mentoring in programming and ML methods for aspiring engineers as an associate of both Intel AI and Intel Image Analytics Centers of Excellence. Additionally, I was a member of Intel NextGen (Vietnam branch), an initiative to streamline and enhance the integration experience of new hires.

Before joining Intel Products Vietnam, I had the blessing to join First Solar Vietnam from November 2020 to April 2021 as an engineering trainee to work on a project in commonality analysis for defects generated by laser scribing processes on thin-film solar panels.

Before working at Intel Products Vietnam and First Solar Vietnam, I received my degree of M.Sc with a master thesis in ML/DL from Aalto University, Finland, in December 2020. At Aalto University, I worked with Dr. Petri Kärhä and Prof. Erkki Ikonen on developing a measurement setup to determine the differential spectral responsivity of solar cells. We also worked, albeit for a limited time, on an estimation method to include uncertainties of spectral mismatch in solar cell calibration.

My Prior Prior Life!

Before starting my M.Sc. at Aalto University in Autumn 2018, I went to Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Science, Finland, where I did my bachelor’s in Electronics. As an undergraduate student, I conducted some research in wireless sensor networks under Dr. Matti Fisher (currently retired).
