Om mig

  • Jag är doktorand vid Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa, Karolinska Institutet, samt barnneurolog och lärare i pediatrik i Vietnam. Mitt kliniska och akademiska arbete fokuserar på barnneurologi, epilepsi, autismspektrumtillstånd och barns neuroutveckling. Mitt doktorandprojekt, ”Integrated Early Screening and Precision Biomarkers for Autism in Vietnam and Sweden”, syftar till att förbättra tidig identifiering av autism i både kliniska och samhällsbaserade miljöer.

Forskningsbeskrivning

  • Mina forskningsintressen omfattar autism och neuroutvecklingsrelaterade tillstånd, barnneurologi och epilepsi, tidig screening och diagnostik, artificiell intelligens och maskininlärning, EEG, digital fenotypning samt precisionsbiomarkörer. Jag är särskilt intresserad av att utveckla skalbara och kliniskt användbara metoder för tidig upptäckt av autism och riskstratifiering hos barn.

Undervisning

  • Jag undervisar i pediatrik och barnneurologi för läkarstudenter och läkare under specialistutbildning i pediatrik. Mina undervisningsområden omfattar barnneurologi, epilepsi, kramptillstånd, barnpsykiatri, autismspektrumtillstånd och klinisk pediatrik. Jag är även engagerad i kursutveckling, klinisk undervisning och handledning av studenters forskningsprojekt.
