About

I am a Master’s student in Computer Science and Engineering at BRAC University and a Graduate Research Assistant focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning. I am particularly interested in multimodal learning, computer vision, large language models, and trustworthy, human-centered AI.

My research centers on building reproducible systems and studying problems that bridge methodological depth and real-world impact. My recent work spans medical AI, gaze-supervised multimodal learning, Bangla keyboard optimization, hybrid quantum-classical learning, and long-document understanding for LLMs.

I also mentor undergraduate thesis groups and contribute to student research development through the BRACU CSE Research Reading Group. I hope to pursue research that is rigorous, interpretable, and meaningful in practice.

I am currently seeking PhD opportunities in machine learning, with interests in multimodal learning, computer vision, and human-centered AI.

Research Experience

RIGI Research Intern

Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) | May 2026 - Aug 2026

Working with Dr. Philipp Müller in the Embodied Social Interaction Group on personalised multimodal behaviour analysis. My research focuses on social signal processing and machine learning methods for modelling user-dependent variation across behavioural channels such as gaze, body movement, and speech, with the goal of developing behaviour analysis approaches tailored to individual users.

Graduate Research Assistant

BRAC University | 2025 - Present

Developing reproducible multimodal and long-context AI research pipelines, curating datasets, running experiments, contributing to manuscript preparation, and mentoring undergraduate research teams.

Student Tutor (Undergraduate Teaching Assistant)

BRAC University | 2023 - 2024

Mentored students through labs, graded assignments, and supported problem-solving and exam preparation, strengthening both my technical communication and teaching practice.
