I graduated from BRAC University in 2020 with a BS degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, with extra courses in Computer Science. In my senior year, I started independent research and published one conference paper before starting my final year project. I was a secretary of the BRACU PES Chapter, and under that, I arranged numerous seminars and workshops. During my time at BRAC University, I was a teaching assistant in CSE and EEE department for Two years. Before my graduation, I joined Nestle Bangladesh Limited as a Technical Intern, where I completed two projects(a Temperature Monitoring System and Employee Medical Expense Record Automation). Additionally, I was a Merit-Based Scholarship holder throughout my entire undergraduate journey at BRAC University. I was honored with both the Vice-Chancellor’s and Dean’s List awards for academic excellence. 

Research Focus: My central focus in research is developing dependable and cost-effective AI solutions for medical applications, aiming to provide timely and appropriate patient care. My research approach combines insights from both human and machine intelligence to address issues in the brain and healthcare. So, I explore how cognitive challenges affect commonsense reasoning and decision-making, both in the lives of patients and in the medical field. To this end, I aim to build a foundation of trust for AI technologies within the healthcare sector. 

Research Areas:  Deep Learning, Machine Learning, AI, Computational Neuroscience and Neural Engineering.
