I'm a Ph.D. student at CMU SAILING Lab in the Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science, advised by Prof. Eric P. Xing. I also work closely with Prof. Le Song (MBZUAI), Dr. Souvik Kundu (Intel AI), Prof. Ben Lengerich (UW–Madison), and Caleb N. Ellington (CMU, GenBio AI). I am also working as a Research Scientist Intern at GenBio AI, working on the AIDO (AI-driven Digial Organism) project.

I completed my Masters in Computer Science at the University of Maryland at College Park (UMD), with a concentration in AI. Here I was advised by Prof. Christopher Metzler and worked in the UMD Intelligent Sensing lab.

I graduated with a B.Sc. (Engineering) in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I completed my undergrad thesis with a concentration in machine learning, under the supervision of Prof. M. Saifur Rahman and Prof. Md. Shamsuzzoha Bayzid.
