I’m Lam Nguyen, a M.Sc. student from the Department of Computer Science and Data Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. I graduated Cum Laude with a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Case Western Reserve University in 2024.
I am interested in Large Language Models, Efficient Machine Learning, and Multi-agent Systems. I am fortunate to be advised by Yinghui Wu and Xiaotian Han.
Alongside research, I have been advancing my algorithmic knowledge and competitive programming skills, participating weekly competitions on LeetCode.
You can contact me at ltn18 at case dot edu.
