I’d love to join a research team, bring my experience and curiosity, and explore new ideas together.

A little about me

I’m currently pursuing a Master of Information Systems and Technology at Curtin University. I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering at Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET), Bangladesh.

My undergraduate research explored unsupervised domain adaptation and knowledge distillation for medical image segmentation, working with both retinal fundus images and brain MRI.

Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Young Learners’ Research Lab and a Software Engineer at Sasthotech, contributing to medical image analysis, Bengali document understanding and healthcare software.

I’m keen to deepen my research in natural language processing, language models and information systems security, while continuing to explore new applications of machine learning.
