The Mind — Curiosity & Complexity
Most people see research as numbers, models, and charts.
But to me, research has always been a way of listening — quietly, patiently — to the questions people cannot articulate out loud.
Looking back on my research journey, I realize that what began as curiosity slowly transformed into a genuine passion — a journey that would not have been possible without the guidance of my mentors.
I am deeply grateful to Prof. Dinh Van Hoang and MSC. Le Trung Thanh, whose wisdom, patience, and belief in my potential became the compass guiding me through every challenge and late-night analysis.
Their mentorship taught me not only how to conduct rigorous research but also how to think with both logic and empathy — to see the human story behind every data point.

At IEL Global Trading and Services, I assisted a study on techno-invasion and workplace creativity. On paper, each response was just a data point; in reality, it was a life negotiating pressure, expectations, and digital fatigue. Coding interviews and preparing datasets for SEM taught me that creativity doesn’t fade because people are lazy — it fades when stress steals the space where imagination breathes.
At The Olympia Schools, I studied Gen Z investment behavior. Structural models revealed something I had never considered: risk is not only mathematical — it is emotional. Behind every hesitation was a mix of fear, ambition, and uncertainty about the future. Numbers became fingerprints of dreams and doubt.
Somewhere between PROCESS macros, SmartPLS models, and long nights cleaning messy datasets, I realized something important:​
Because metrics are just the visible shape of invisible worries.
Models are just translations of human behavior.
Significance is just statistics making emotion legible.

And if you listen closely enough, even a spreadsheet sounds a lot like a heartbeat.
