MSc Student

University of British Columbia

I am an MSc student at the University of British Columbia, Canada. My thesis is being supervised by Dr. Fatemeh Hendijani Fard. I am also working as a Software Engineer intern at SOftware Analytics and Research (SOAR) Lab in Singapore Management University (SMU). This internship is being overseen by Dr. David Lo. Before attending UBC, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from North South University, Dhaka (regarded as the best private university in Bangladesh), and served in Eastern University as a Lecturer for one year.

The field of my research encompasses a broad domain of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Software Engineering. I aim to build AI-driven intelligent software products, components to deal with crucial problems for both individual and community.

Currently, I am working on different Topic Modeling algorithms and Text Classification techniques for handling software development issues faced by application developers. Part of my research focuses on the mathematical interpretability and scientific visualization of conventional Machine Learning algorithms. I am also designing an interactive analytical tool for different customizable Neural Network architectures.

Other than being a researcher, I motivate, mentor, and supervise young underprivileged students who aim to become stellar researchers and technology leaders. I am currently managing two different research groups in Bangladesh that are working with the local inhabitants to deliver practical and optimized solutions to community-specific problems.
