Hello, my name is Dzung Pham and I'm a 2nd-year Computer Science PhD student at University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I'm researching secure, private, and trustworthy AI/ML and systems with Prof. Amir Houmansadr. Previously, I worked as a Software Engineer at Meta, Inc (formerly known as Facebook), where I applied ML to protect users of Facebook Marketplace from fraud, scam and harassment.I graduated from Williams College in 2020 with a degree in Computer Science and Statistics. I was advised by Prof. Richard De Veaux for my senior thesis. I also had the pleasure of working closely with Prof. Daniel Barowy and Prof. Duane Bailey.

Below are some fun projects that I worked on during my undergrad: |
|
I trained a two-stream Convolutional Neural Net to detect people falling from video input, with transfer learning from MobileNetV2 and Motion History Image in place of the optical flow stream. This project won the 2019 Ward Prize for Best Project in Computer Science at Williams College. |
|
I trained a Convolutional Neural Net to detect facial emotion from images, then built a program to do so in real-time via webcam. This was my final project for Artificial Intelligence. Trivia: the emotion 'Disgusted' was the hardest to detect, and also the hardest to recreate. |
|
I implemented the Lucas-Kanade optical flow algorithm for GPU using CUDA C. This was my final project for Parallel Processing. I believe this was the only project for which I got an honorary A+. |
|
I created an Arduino-powered cloth bracer that can record and replay tapping patterns. The most important thing I learned from this project was how to sew and embroider, probably. |

I have been playing the classical guitar unprofessionally since grade 9, with a bit of flamenco and fingerstyle here and there. The proudest piece in my repertoire is Koyunbaba by Carlo Domeniconi. I had the honor of studying under Robert Phelps - a true professional guitarist. Recently I got addicted to chess (following the Queen's Gambit craze). You can find me on chess.com. |
