Associate Professor Du Huynh is a distinguished academic in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, School of Physics, Mathematics and Computing, at the University of Western Australia. She earned her Bachelor's degree with honours in Computer Science and her PhD from UWA. After serving as a lecturer at Murdoch University for five years, she rejoined UWA as a Senior Lecturer, advancing to her current position as Associate Professor with a 0.8 FTE appointment since 2010. Since 2013, she has been the Graduate Research Coordinator for the department, mentoring higher degree by research students as a Level 3 supervisor and chairing PhD viva voces.

Her research focuses on computer vision, machine learning, object detection, visual tracking, image processing, and pattern recognition. Key application areas include automated analysis in mineral ore processing, video surveillance over constrained networks, 3D human pose recognition, multiple object tracking, pedestrian trajectory prediction, and video analytics for intelligent transportation systems. Du Huynh has attracted over $3 million in research funding from the Australian Research Council (including one Discovery Project and two Linkage Projects), industry partners, and government agencies. She serves as Chief Investigator in the Western Australia node of the Australian Centre for Quantum Growth, funded with $18 million from 2024-2027. Her scholarly impact is evidenced by more than 5,000 citations on Google Scholar.

Du Huynh has received three best paper awards: at ICPR 2014, the Kenneth Clarke Journal Award 2019, and AusDM 2022. She was a finalist for the Excellence in Research and Development Award 2020 for automated traffic video analytics and the 21st WaiTTA Innovation Award 2012. Notable publications include "Metrics for 3D Rotations: Comparison and Analysis" (Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, 2009), "REval: A Semantic Evaluation Framework for Hashtag Recommendation" (IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 2025), "DocSpiral: A Platform for Integrated Assistive Document Annotation through Human-in-the-Spiral" (ACL 2025), "TimelineKGQA: A Comprehensive Question-Answer Pair Generator for Temporal Knowledge Graphs" (WWW 2025), and "Are Graph Embeddings the Panacea?" (PAKDD 2024). With over 85 research outputs, she contributes as an Academic Editor for PLOS One (since 2018), Editorial Board member for Journal on Artificial Intelligence (since 2023), and Program Co-Chair for DICTA 2022, alongside extensive service on international conference program committees and Australian Research Council grant assessments.
