Minh Luu (Nguyen Hoang)

MS CS @ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)

Hi, I'm currently a Master student in Computer Science (MS CS) at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in Fall 2025. Previously, I was an AI Research Resident at VinAI Research (acquired by Qualcomm), working on 3D generative models and 3D scene understanding mentored by Dr. Khoi Nguyen and Prof. Binh-Son Hua. I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from Ho Chi Minh University of Technology in 2023.

I'm interested in 3D vision, generative models, and computer graphics.
