Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Pha Nguyen's research focuses on computer vision and machine learning, particularly in areas related to object tracking, activity recognition, and scene understanding in video data. Recent publications include work on self-supervised spatiotemporal transformers for group activity recognition, multi-camera multi-object tracking, and hierarchical interlacement graphs for scene graph generation. Nguyen also investigates prompt-based object tracking and hypergraph-based video scene graph generation and anticipation.

Nguyen has secured significant federal funding, serving as PI on the "Shared Arkansas Research Plan for Community Cyber Infrastructure (SHARP CCI)" from NSF for $199,592, and as Co-PI on the "E-RISE Rll: Arkansas Smart Transportation Research Incubator through Data Engineering and Science" from NSF for $7,000,000. Other federal grants include projects focused on Alaskan riverine ecosystem stability, spatial archaeometry, and lidar-based truck detection.

With an h-index of 8 and 38 total publications, Nguyen collaborates with researchers across disciplines, including Ky Luu, Page D. Dobbs, Trong-Thuan Nguyen, and Jackson Cothren, with whom they have multiple shared publications. Nguyen maintains an active lab website, indicating ongoing research activities.
