Hello,

I am a doctoral student at Old Dominion University (ODU), Norfolk, VA. I received a master’s degree in Computer Science at American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB), Dhaka, Bangladesh. At ODU, I'm working with the Web Science and Digital Libraries (WS-DL) research group under the supervision of Dr. Vikas Ashok. My research projects include human-computer interaction, deep Learning, and algorithm-based problem-solving. 

I have research experience in computer vision, deep learning, and the Bayesian algorithm. My master’s thesis research was on classification, computation, and movement of an object and their corresponding relationship. In this project, I used a region-based fully convolutional network and a long and short-term memory-based model. For the dissertation of my bachelor’s degree, I worked on the Bayesian Network to verify the Software Product Line (SPL) feature tree. Besides the development of the thesis dissertation project, part of this work was published as a conference article in International Conference on Computer Engineering And Mathematical Sciences (ICCEMS 2015) Langkawi, Malaysia. 

During my undergraduate degree, I developed experience in organizing multiple workshops in-campus and interuniversity settings. I instructed on making windows applications and gaming software in various workshops. The professional leadership skill was developed while I was working as a Microsoft Student Partners Campus Lead position for three years. During this time, I was directly involved in the MSP new student employee recruitment process and organizing several seminars and workshops.

I enjoy working with the WS-DL research group and finds the WS-DL as a nice workspace for interacting with the researchers.

My hobby is biking and taking photos. Last year, I won a photo contest organized by ODU and VisitNorfolk. Several times ODU highlighted my captured images on ODU Instagram pages.
