About Me: Hai-Vy NGUYEN 👋
Hi! My name is Hai-Vy Nguyen. I recently completed my CIFRE doctoral contract at Renault Group, affiliated with IMT Toulouse and IRIT Toulouse (Nov. 2022 – Nov. 2025). My academic affiliation is with IMT Toulouse and IRIT Toulouse. My Ph.D. is carried out under the academic supervision of Fabrice Gamboa (thesis director), Serge Gratton (thesis co-director), Sixin Zhang, and Reda Chhaibi (co-supervisors).
My research interests lie at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Applied Mathematics, with a particular focus on leveraging mathematical tools to enhance AI models. I am especially passionate about working on projects with clear, well-defined goals, where theory meets practical impact. Some of my current research directions include:
- Quantifying uncertainty in neural network predictions
- Knowledge distillation through feature representation transfer
- Enhancing the robustness of neural models to perturbations and domain shifts
I am also deeply curious about the structure of feature spaces in neural networks, and I consider it a long-term research goal to better understand their local and global dimensionality as well as topological structures. I believe that this line of inquiry is essential to uncovering and explaining the underlying behaviors of modern AI models — including both vision and language systems.
Neural feature structures carry their own story to discover ✨
