Profile

Thanh's work in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is motivated by real-world societal problems, particularly in the areas of Public Safety and Security (e.g., urban crime prevention and counterterrorism), Cybersecurity (e.g., the protection of network data from stealthy botnets), Sustainability (e.g., wildlife and fish protection), and Public Health (e.g., the prevention of vaccination misinformation spread on social networks). The solutions she has developed employ techniques drawn not only from AI's various subfields, including Multi-Agent Systems, Game Theory, Machine Learning, and Optimization, but also from fields outside of AI, such as Cognitive Modeling and Conservation Biology.
