Doctoral Thesis

I was formerly a PhD Candidate of the Research School of Engineering at the Australian National University.

In July 2011, I submitted my PhD thesis entitled "Spectrum Representation, Photometric Invariants and Shape Recovery in Imaging Spectroscopy".

My PhD study was part of the research and development activities within the Imaging Spectroscopy for Scene Analysis project of National ICT Australia (NICTA).

Biography (in brief)

• I was born in the Imperial City of Hue, Vietnam. I went to one of the most renowned high schools in the country, the Quoc Hoc Hue High School. Subsequently, I did my first year of university at the Polytechnic University of Ho Chi Minh City. In 2002, I received a New Zealand Study Award to do a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch. I finished the Bachelor Degree with first Class Honours as a Senior Scholar at the University of Canterbury in 2006. In 2007, I moved to the Australian National University, in Canberra, the capital city of Australia, to commence my Ph.D. Degree in Computer Science. My doctoral thesis has been supervised by Dr. Antonio Robles-Kelly. The research work conducted so far in my doctoral study is strongly tied to the research theme of the Spectral Imaging and Source Mapping project of National ICT Australia (NICTA).
