Ph.D. Candidate at UL
I am a second-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, working under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Li Chen in the CELESTIAL: Communication Efficient LEarning Systems – The Implementation and Algorithms Lab. My research focused on optimizing communication costs, tackling heterogeneity (e.g., data heterogeneity, model heterogeneity, system heterogeneity), and ensuring fairness in Federated Learning.
I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology in Bangladesh. I have more than four years of working experience in different companies.
Research Interests: Federated Learning, Deep Learning, Generative AI
I am actively looking for an internship related to Data Science, Machine Learning, and Software engineering field.
