Short Bio

I am currently a PhD candidate and Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Utah. Before coming to the U, I worked as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering at IUBAT, Bangladesh. While working at IUBAT, I completed my MS degree in Civil Engineering (Transportation) in 2019 from Islamic University of Technology. During my master's, I worked on developing spatio-temporal multi-task learning architectures for ride-hailing systems with anonymized spatial adjacency information. 

For my PhD at the U, I am working on a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), which aims to develop systems that improve the operational efficiency of transit systems. In this project, my research focused on integrating Dial-a-Ride services with Transportation Network Companies for serving outlier trips, improving public transport operations for low-demand routes through semi-flexible bus routing and advanced online reservation, and developing dynamic vehicle routing algorithms for microtransit operations. 

Despite having a civil engineering background, I have a strong inclination toward data science, machine learning, and operations research; I enjoy utilizing them to solve problems within the transportation domain, especially problems pertaining to planning, operations, and simulation of transportation systems. 

Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball, traveling, and hiking.
