Industry
Intelligent Integration (INT2), CEO
I founded INT2 in May 2020 as the overseas R&D center of HPC SYSTEMS Inc. and lead it as CEO: HPC and AI infrastructure, data platforms and automation for the Vietnamese market.

Nguyen Viet Cuong
I build and run high-performance computing and AI systems. Founder and CEO of Intelligent Integration (INT2), the Vietnamese R&D arm of HPC SYSTEMS Inc., and a lecturer on big data analytics and HPC at VNU-UET.
Hi!
I am Nguyễn Việt Cường, a Vietnamese. In Vietnam people call me by the given name Cường, since Nguyễn is the most popular family name here, carried by roughly 38% of the population.
For Japanese readers who wonder about the meaning: my name is written 阮 越 強 in Kanji: 阮 for Nguyễn, 越 for Việt, 強 for Cường.
I started out at VNU, working on text and data mining. In January 2008 I left for JAIST, first the Ph.D. course in Information Processing, then postdoctoral research, and in April 2012 I moved to Tokyo to join HPC SYSTEMS Inc., where parallel file systems, high-performance computing and materials informatics became my working ground. Since April 2019 I have been back in Hà Nội: the company is my main work, and I keep collaborating closely with the academic side, VNU-UET and the VNU institutes, because that is where our R&D gets its rigor.
Research
What I work on
Research & development
High-performance computing
Parallel file systems, high-performance data analysis, and the HPC-AI stack, from cluster design to the tooling researchers actually use.
Research & development
Text & data mining
Where I started: text segmentation, classification, semi-supervised learning, lately Vietnamese large language model evaluation.
Research & development
Information fusion
Combining evidence from multiple, uncertain and disagreeing sources – evidence theory, similarity measures, uncertainty modelling – into decisions you can explain.
Research & development
Materials informatics
Data-driven materials discovery: descriptor design, interpretable models and recommender systems for alloys and molecular systems.
Engineering
Edge & distributed systems
Edge computing, distributed systems and fully automated utilities. I have a weakness for things that run themselves.

Looking for students
I supervise master's and doctoral students working on HPC systems, HPC-AI, big data analytics, information fusion, edge computing and materials informatics, topics that usually come with access to real machines and real industrial problems through INT2 and our institute partners.
If that sounds like your direction, write to me with a short note on what you want to work on and a CV.
Projects & collaborations
Research
Dam Laboratory, JAIST
My longest-running collaboration: I have worked with the lab since around 2009, while at JAIST, and it became a formal partnership with HPC SYSTEMS Inc. in 2016. Materials informatics and advanced data analytics, still producing papers.
Academia
Institute for Artificial Intelligence, VNU-UET
Since November 2023: joint research and education on HPC-AI.
Academia
VNU Information Technology Institute
Since April 2025: R&D projects on HPC-AI, edge computing and semiconductors (RISC-V) for industry, academia and government. The collaboration produced the Nexus Laboratory (Information · Knowledge · Systems), a joint lab of INT2 and the VNU Institute of Information Technology that carries research through to running systems.
