Chế Quang Huy, a recent graduate of the University of Information Technology (UIT), has made history as the first student to complete a dual major at the university. Although excelling in both academic performance and research, Chế Quang Huy has decided to focus on research work at the Multimedia Communication Laboratory of UIT.
After completing over four years of studies in both Computer Engineering and Computer Science, Chế Quang Huy graduated with honors, earning a GPA of 8.36. This achievement marks a significant milestone as the first dual major graduate at UIT.
Huy, who originally aspired to pursue a career in architecture, shifted his focus to Computer Engineering after facing challenges in the college entrance exams. His passion for dismantling and exploring electronic devices led him to choose Computer Engineering at UIT.
Joining the academic club CEEC (Computer Engineering and Electronics Club) in his freshman year allowed Huy to delve deeper into the programming environment. It was during this time that he developed the idea of pursuing a dual major.
Huy expressed, "My initial goal in joining the club was to learn more about embedded systems. However, through club activities, I realized that Computer Science, especially Computer Vision, could significantly complement my current major. So, each semester, I registered for 1-2 Computer Science courses."
By the third year, Huy began focusing on in-depth research and writing scientific papers. His interest in both fields prompted him to pursue a dual major. Despite concerns about managing time and administrative procedures, the university provided support, allowing him to successfully navigate these challenges.
Huy is pleased with his decision to pursue a dual major, emphasizing that the acquired knowledge greatly contributed to his research. His thesis, titled "Integrating Edge Computing and Server for Human and Vehicle Search on Smart Cameras," received the highest score in the thesis defense session. This outstanding result played a pivotal role in Huy graduating with honors.
In addition to academic achievements, Huy has an impressive research portfolio, with six university-level research projects, one national-level publication, and six international conference papers. His research primarily focuses on computer vision and artificial intelligence applications in intelligent systems.
One of Huy's notable achievements is a research paper presented at the International MAPR Conference in 2022, addressing license plate recognition systems. The proposed system, aimed at solving real-world challenges faced by a company where Huy interned, proved to be more effective than existing smart camera systems.
After graduation, Huy chose to work at the Multimedia Communication Laboratory of UIT due to its conducive and innovative environment. He is also involved in teaching practical courses at the university, guiding students in their research projects and scientific paper writing.
Recently, Huy applied for a master's program in Computer Science, with a research focus on computer vision. He expressed his passion for this field, stating, "I don't need a specific reason for my interest. I find it suitable and fascinating for myself. It's a passion rather than just a job."
Reflecting on his student life, Chế Quang Huy shared, "I've done quite a lot during my university years, from studying, researching, participating in the Green Summer Campaign to serving as Vice Chairman of the CEEC Club. I am very satisfied with those experiences and have no regrets."
