Ngoc Thi Nguyen

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Pervasive Data Science group at the Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki, Finland. My research centers on addressing fundamental challenges in enabling the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), with the goals of ensuring efficient sensing and data analytics pipelines, enhancing the scalability and robustness of AIoT systems, and fostering human-AI collaboration. I develop intelligent sensing pipelines that facilitate innovative data collection methods, enhance data quality and reliability, and create predictive models for real-time forecasting, ultimately providing actionable insights that inform decision-making. Through my work, I aspire to contribute to a sustainable future by harnessing the power of technology to drive positive changes in both our environment and society.
