I am currently a tenure-track assistant professor at Georgia Southern University. Previously, I was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Memphis from Fall 2023 to Summer 2024.  I completed my PhD in computer science at Old Dominion University in Dec, 2023.  Prior to that, I completed his BS and MS degrees in computer science and engineering at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2009 and 2011, respectively.  My research encompasses various sub-areas of artificial intelligence, including natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning and apply various AI techniques to the fields of data science, social computing, and bioinformatics. 

My recent works  (since 2022 ) involve-

1. Biological Structure Determination from Cryo-(EM/ET) Images

2. Mental Health Research by Analyzing Social Media Health Texts

3. Behavioral-Cultural Modeling and Discourse Analysis through Social Media Texts

News:

August 2024: I am excited to announce that I will be joining Georgia Southern University (GSU) as a tenure-track assistant professor.

I am seeking hardworking and motivated PhD and Master’s students to join my research team. Successful PhD candidates will receive a full tuition waiver and a generous stipend of $25,000 per year. Limited funding may be available for exceptionally well-qualified Master’s students. Statesboro, one of the most affordable cities in the USA, offers an excellent living environment as a college town. If you're interested, please first review my recent works to see how they align with your experience and interests. Then, feel free to email me or apply here. Due to the high volume of inquiries and time constraints, I may not be able to respond to everyone. However, if your profile aligns with my research, I will get back to you.
