ABOUT ME

I’m Nguyễn Công Thành, a Vietnamese native, or in the American style, Thanh (Cong) Nguyen.

I’m a first-year Ph.D. student in Statistics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, starting Fall 2025. My current academic and research interests revolve around:

• Statistical Network Analysis
• Latent Structure Models

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from Fulbright University Vietnam, where I was fortunate to work under the guidance of Prof. Linh Tran (Fulbright University Vietnam) and Prof. Hoi Nguyen (Ohio State University).

Previously, I’ve actively engaged with Mathematical Olympiads as both a competitor and a coach.

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

While you’ll find some standard information about my background and work here, this website is primarily my digital notebook—a space to capture the random moments of my life and reflect on the things that matter to me. My hope is to keep it authentic and avoid turning this into a purely academic showcase, though I suspect my Ph.D. journey will inevitably sneak into these pages over the next five years.

CONTACT

You can reach me at my work email, thanhvu[at]umich[dot]edu, which I’ll be using during my Ph.D. at the University of Michigan. For a more casual chat, feel free to connect with me via the social links at the bottom of the page.
