Masters

• Detecting Adverse Drug Events using a Deep Neural Network Model [PDF] 

  • Research work on predicting Drug-Drug interactions using different drug information like drug targets, protein-protein interactions, side-effects, and drug-drug interaction networks and tests on Cardiovascular drugs to find the unknown interactions to help understand the side-effects of using cardiovascular drugs.  This work is supervised by Dr. Donald Adjeroh.

Undergraduate

• A New Fitness Measure for Theta Dominance-based Many-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm

  • Research work on the evolutionary approaches where we developed a new dominance relation which was employed to rank solutions in the environmental selection phase, ensuring both convergence and diversity.  This work was supervised by Prof. Dr. Md. Monirul Islam.
