I am a Software Engineer at Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh and a researcher working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human–computer interaction. I earned my B.Sc. in Software Engineering from the Institute of Information Technology, University of Dhaka, with a CGPA of 3.83/4.00.
My research explores responsible AI, privacy, human–computer interaction, and on-device intelligence, with particular attention to how technical systems interact with social realities in Global South contexts. Over the past two years, I have worked with Dr. Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed across three research projects. I have also collaborated with Dr. Sharifa Sultana at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Dr. Tanusree Sharma at Pennsylvania State University on different research projects.
