I am a passionate and inquisitive Faculty currently in the role of Senior Lecturer at BRAC University. A dedicated mentor and educator, my teaching philosophy is centered around innovation, integrity, and individuality. My students are encouraged to explore their passions above all else, and this supportive, nurturing, and feedback-oriented environment propels them to achieve excellence.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I demonstrated my commitment to advancing remote education for emerging Bangladeshi computer scientists by creating numerous YouTube Tutorials and accessible study materials, significantly impacting the academic community.
Research Area(s): My research areas and interests are vast and diverse, including but not limited to:

Committed to nurturing students’ ambitions, I strive, with unwavering dedication, to guide them toward achieving significant National and International milestones. A testament to this dedication lies in the honor I received in the form of a Gold Medal at the International Science and Invention Fair by the Indonesian Young Scientists Association for my outstanding guidance and supervision of Team Atlas. I have also served as a Co-Principal Investigator at BRACU Mongol Tori and have been selected to participate in NASA's Mars Rover Competition in Utah, USA. As the Co-Advisor of the Robotics Club, I encourage innovation.
At the same time, my leadership as Team Leader of Techniche, a fully-funded Techno-Management Festival at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), showcases my organizational acumen. My advisory role contributed to securing a merit position at the prestigious Indian Rover Challenge, organized by Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Chennai, India.
My work has been featured in several prominent news sources, e.g., MARS SOCIETY SOUTH ASIA, BRACU Express, The Daily Star.
