PhD Applications - Fall 2027

I am applying to PhD programs for Fall 2027, with research interests in multimodal machine learning and human-centered AI. I am particularly interested in working with faculty whose research intersects with multimodal learning, computer vision, multimodal interaction, and related human-centered AI problems.

About

I am an M.Sc. student in Computer Science and Engineering at BRAC University. My research interests center on multimodal machine learning and human-centered AI, with broader interests in computer vision, multimodal interaction, context-aware learning, and reliable AI systems.

In Summer 2026, I was a Research Intern at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, where I worked with the Embodied Social Interaction Group on personalized multimodal behavior analysis using visual, audio, and behavioral signals.

My broader research has explored multimodal healthcare, contextual language understanding, computer vision, and reliable AI evaluation. I am particularly interested in advancing multimodal learning and human-centered AI across real-world and interactive settings.

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.
