Names: From 2013 – 2023, I published under “Anh Nguyen”. Yet, as the field grows, I have been seeing increasingly more papers where colleagues publish under exact the same name as mine, causing confusion to G Scholar, DBLP and the community. From 11/2023, I started using Anh Totti Nguyen in my publications.
