I am Tien Pham

About me (My Résumé)

My name is Tien Pham, Master student in Computer Engineering at University of Texas at Arlington. Before coming to the United States, I got a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics at Ho Chi Minh city University of Technology, Vietnam. During my undergraduate, I received scholarship for 10 semesters in the Vietnam-French Program and 2 Excellent Student awards. I also worked as Undergraduate Research Assistant in National Key DCSELab where I worked on designing, modelling and realizing the fish-like robot. I also got the highest score for Undergraduate Thesis in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics.

I had 1 year of experience in Embedded Software Developer at Robert BOSCH Engineering Bussiness and Solutions Vietnam where I designed and developed the AUTOSAR software stacks in Automotive.

Do not want to limit myself, I decided to pursue a Master Degree in Computer Engineering at University of Texas at Arlington with the focus on Software Engineering and Machine Learning. I joined Wireless and Sensor Systems Lab as a Graduate Research Assistant. I also worked as Graduate Teaching Assistant during the summer to strengthen my technical and presentation skill. September 2022, I joined the LEARN Lab and do master thesis on context-aware interface for semi-autonomous smart wheelchair under supervision of Dr. Huber.
