Manh Nguyen
AI researcher | PhD Student @ Applied Artificial Intelligence Initiative
Hello, my name is Manh. I am a PhD student at A2I2, Deakin University, advised by Dr. Hung Le and Prof. Sunil Gupta. My research centers on the reliability and efficiency of large language models, with a focus on uncertainty estimation, test-time scaling, and multi-agent systems. Across these threads, I focus on practical NLP research, building robust and scalable systems that turn research ideas into real-world impact.
Prior to my PhD, I spent 6+ years building production ML systems in industry.
