Dr. Lê Ngọc Hiếu (Hao Lee) — IT Lecturer & Researcher at Van Hien University (VHU), Ho Chi Minh City. PhD in Information Technology. ORCID: 0000-0002-1133-1433.
Research Areas
My research focuses on AI/ML applications across healthcare, smart cities, education, linguistics, and management — spanning eight interdisciplinary domains.
AI/ML in Traditional Vietnamese Medicine
Syndrome classification, herbal remedy recommendation, clinical pattern recognition, and integration of traditional Vietnamese medicine (YHCT) data with modern diagnostic systems.
AI/ML in Dentistry
AI-assisted dental diagnostics — X-ray and CBCT image analysis, cephalometric landmark detection, caries and periodontal disease classification, and digital workflow automation.
AI/ML in Medical Laboratory Testing
Machine learning in clinical diagnostics — automated cell morphology analysis, biomarker pattern recognition, In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD), and predictive models for lab result interpretation.
AI/ML in Immunology
AI approaches to immunology — immune response modeling, autoimmune disease prediction, antibody structure analysis, and ML-based assessment of immunotherapy outcomes.
AI/ML in Smart Cities
Technology-driven urban research — flood resilience modeling (GIS, EPA-SWMM, MIKE FLOOD), urban infrastructure analytics, IoT data integration, and AI-powered city management for Southeast Asia.
AI/ML in Educational Technology
Adaptive learning systems, automated assessment, learning analytics, NLP for educational content, and innovative IT curriculum design for Vietnamese higher education.
AI/ML in Linguistics
Machine translation (Vietnamese, Chinese, English), NLP for language learning, cultural-linguistic analysis, computational linguistics, and language technology development.
AI/ML in Economics & Management
Data science and AI in business — market analysis, demand forecasting, business intelligence dashboards, data-driven decision making, and AI-powered management information systems.
