Dr. Huyen T.T. Nguyen

I am an economist and interdisciplinary data scientist with a cum laude PhD in Economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam & Tinbergen Institute (dissertation, defense).

I currently work as a Principal Data Scientist at Valcon, where I combine expertise in microeconometrics, NLP, and data science to help organizations make smarter and more impactful decisions. You can find a detailed overview of my background in my CV.

I bring nearly a decade of experience in research and applied data science, combining predictive modeling, applied econometrics, NLP, and experimental methods to turn complex data into actionable solutions. My work on human and algorithmic biases, strategic communication in high-stakes contexts (negotiations, debates, hiring), and organizational incentives informs the way I help clients address complex challenges and design fair, data-driven strategies.

I also share curated Resources & tools on NLP, Explainable AI, large language models (LLMs), FAIR/anonymized data practices, and causal inference in business and industry.

I am always open to new conversations with companies, policymakers, and partners interested in data-driven innovation and responsible AI — feel free to reach out by e-mail or connect with me on LinkedIn.
