Ngo, Anh Vien

I am the Deputy CEO and CTO of VinRobotics, a VinGroup subsidiary aiming to lead robotics innovation in Vietnam and the region. I am also an affiliated faculty member in the college of EECS at VinUni.

I earned my Ph.D. in Robotics from Kyung Hee University (2009), followed by a postdoctoral at NUS working with David Hsu and Lee Wee Sun , and a group lead at the University of Stuttgart working with Marc Toussaint. Later I became a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at Queen’s University Belfast. From 2020 to 2025, I was a roboticist at Bosch Center of AI (BCAI), and contributing over 30 patent applications (including 6 granted U.S. patents). Throughout my career, I am fortunuate to (co-)mentor more than 15 Ph.D. and 40 M.Sc. students.
