About Me

“Learning never exhausts the mind.”
I totally agree with this quote from Leonardo da Vinci. I always enjoy learning something new. To me, learning is growing and it has no limit of age, gender, place, or time. In terms of academic education, I received my M.Sc. in Software Engineering from the University of Calgary and my B.Sc. in CSE from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). 

I love teaching and research.
I am working as a lecturer in the Department of CSE at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). Previously, I served as a lecturer at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology. I have also worked as a graduate research & teaching assistant at the University of Calgary during my master's.

I believe in AI for a better world.
My research interests are Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Software Engineering (SE). Currently, I am working on the application of ML and NLP-based techniques to improve software development and maintenance processes. I have also worked in computational bio and the social sciences.
Broadly, I am interested in designing and employing ML and NLP techniques to make people's life a little easier on this earth and beyond.
