Greetings! My name in Vietnamese is Bùi Nhật Tân (裴日新), which typically means daily renewal 🌕 with brightness 🔆 and hope 🍀. I'm affiliated with the Human Sensing Lab, working with Fernando De la Torre, who is truly a mensch and a wonderful advisor!

I was fortunate to receive my M.S. from the University of Arkansas (UARK 🇺🇸), advised by Susan Gauch and Truong Nguyen (UCSD), and my B.S. from the University of Science, VNU-HCM (HCMUS 🇻🇳) and Auckland University of Technology (AUT 🇳🇿), advised by Minh-Triet Tran and Ngoc-Thao Nguyen. I graduated from Le Quy Don High School, the oldest school in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).

I'm always happy to chat or collaborate. If you are interested in my research, or even me, feel free to contact me via email :)

Research Keywords: Deep Learning 🧠, Computer Vision 👀, and Multimodal Learning 🎏 with applications in 3D/Video Understanding 🎞️, Spatial Understanding 🛰️, and Vision-Language Actions 🤖.
