Thanh-Loc (Leo) PHAM

I am currently pursuing an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s in Intelligent Field Robotic Systems at the University of Zagreb, Croatia, and previously at the Universitat de Girona, Spain. My academic path is driven by a deep passion for developing autonomous robots in challenging, dynamic environments.

My research explores reinforcement learning and adaptive control techniques to enable robots to operate autonomously and robustly, even under uncertain conditions. Additionally, I study SLAM and VIO for navigation, along with path planning strategies to enhance the capabilities of autonomous robots in dynamic environments.

Professionally, I have worked at Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation and Viettel Aerospace Institute, leading teams in the development of autopilot systems for UAVs. These included the Kamikaze Drone Project, where I designed control systems for attack-phase navigation based on real-time image processing; the VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) Drone Project, focusing on a transition controller; and a Navigation System Project for UAVs, where I developed a robust navigation system capable of operating in GNSS-denied environments using SLAM and sensor fusion techniques.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Control Engineering and Automation from Hanoi University of Science and Technology, where I gained a strong foundation in control theory, systems engineering, and autonomous systems.
