I am an incoming Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, advised by Prof. Sanghamitra Dutta. Prior to this, I completed my B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, where my research focused on developing a Vision Language Model for dermatological assistance under the supervision of Prof. Mohammad Ariful Haque.

I currently work as a Machine Learning Engineer at Advanced Chemical Industries Limited. I also worked as an Adjunct Lecturer at BUET’s Department of EEE for 1 semester.
