Dr. Trung Le is a Senior Lecturer (U.S. Associate Professor equivalent) at Monash University and a co-founder of the DreamAI Research Lab. My work bridges foundational theories, such as optimal transport, optimization, Bayesian and probabilistic inference, information theory, and causality, with next‑generation AI challenges including LLM alignment, reasoning, continual learning, generative AI, and trustworthy machine learning. My long‑term vision is to develop smart, intelligent, and secure AGI foundation models that are equitably accessible to everyone, and to mentor and cultivate the next generation of bold, rigorous AI researchers in Australia and Vietnam.
