M. Hung Nguyen

I am a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), supervised by Adish Singla, and co-supervised by Sebastian Tschiatschek. I am also part of the ELLIS PhD program. My current research interests include Pluralistic AI, Diversity & Creativity of LLMs, and GenAI for Education. Prior to this, I obtained my M.Sc. in Big Data Management and Analytics jointly from Université Paris-Saclay, UPC Barcelona, and ULB Brussels, fully funded by the European Union. My master's thesis was completed at INRIA, supervised by Isabelle Guyon and Lisheng Sun-Hosoya, where I worked on AutoML and Reinforcement Learning.
