Welcome!


I am a prospective graduate student for fall 2024. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Chittagong in 2023. I have a passion for sports programming, which led me to participate in competitive programming competitions, both online and offline, while in college. This experience has given me a solid foundation in enhancing my problem-solving abilities and programming skills.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my university was closed for approximately one and a half years. However, I was fortunate enough to join the CSECU-DSG research group, working under the guidance of Professor Dr. Abu Nowshed Chy. In the initial months, I received training in various fundamental data science research tools and methodologies, progressing to become an independent researcher.

Throughout my four-year tenure, I have published over 13 research papers in international conferences and Q1 journals like LREC-COLING and Natural Language Processing journal. I have also achieved top honours, including three first-place in prestigious global competitions such as CLEF, SemEval, FIRE, and CASE. My research interests include multimodal artificial intelligence, causal inference, information extraction, multilingual and low-resource natural language processing, and lexical semantics. For more details, check my CV or hit me up on my email.
