About Me
I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Penn State University. Before coming to Penn State in January 2013, I was at Brown as a Prager Assistant Professor during 2010 - 2012 and at the Institute de Mathematiques de Jessieu (Paris VI) as a postdoctoral researcher during 2009 - 2010. I completed my PhD at Indiana University under Professor Kevin Zumbrun in 2009 and my Master degree at UT - San Antonio under Professor Dung Le in 2006. I had my undergraduate training at the Vietnam National University in Hochiminh city.
