I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Kreimer Lab in the Center for Advanced Biotechnology & Medicine (CABM) at Rutgers, the State University, New Jersey. Our lab focuses on developing predictive models to characterize and understand transcriptional regulation attributed to the functional regulatory elements of the human genome.Â
I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Penn State, where I worked with David Koslicki. During my PhD, I developed probabilistic methods and implemented them into fast and efficient programs to process a massive volume of biological data. Some of my work have been adopted in large-scale open-source projects and are part of production-level impactful programs.
Before starting my PhD in 2021, I completed my Master's in CS from CSE, BUET in 2020. In my Master's thesis, I worked with Dr. Atif Rahman to develop a reference-free method to design personalized guide RNAs from CRISPR experiments. I completed my graduation from CSE, BUET in 2017. My undergraduate thesis supervisor was Dr. Yusuf Sarwar Uddin. We designed and developed an adaptive IoT platform that is able to operate remotely under a constrained 3G data budget.
I am a father to two beautiful baby girls (although these days they are starting to object to the word "little"). I hardly have any free time. When I do, I love to play table tennis and pool. I have a keen interest in astrophotography. I also love to solve shape-shifting Rubik's-like puzzles. I am an amateur guitarist, and I spend some of my free time studying music theory. In recent years, I have started to enjoy a casual game of EA-FC every now and then.
