About me

Hi! I am Luu Anh Tuan, an Assistant Professor at the College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Before that, I was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT CSAIL and a member of the Natural Language Processing group under the supervision of Prof. Regina Barzilay from 2018 to 2020. I obtained Ph.D. degree in computer science from Nanyang Technological University in 2017.

My research interests lie in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing with the focus on applications of Large Language Models, Robustness & Trustworthy AI, Question Answering, Information Extraction, and Graph Neural Networks.
