I am a 3rd year Informatics Ph.D. student at Penn State working at the A11y Lab supervised by Dr. Syed Billah. My research is at the intersection of Accessibility, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and Education. I am working towards developing a universal and inclusive representation of computer programming concepts to provide easier access and better learnability for sighted and visually impaired students. Alongside this, I am exploring the use of Large Language Models to help fix accessibility issues in source code.
I completed my M.Sc. in Informatics from Penn State in 2023 and my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
My Research interests include Accessibility, HCI, Cognitive and Learning Theories, Natural Language Processing, and Virtual Reality. My research has been accepted at top-tier HCI conferences, including UIST (best paper award), CHI, and IMWUT.
