I am a first-year PhD student in ECE at Rutgers University advised by Jorge Ortiz. My doctoral studies involve advancing multimodal research for smart spaces, utilizing principles of Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. The overarching theme of my work is to develop technologies for smart spaces that are socially cognizant and seamlessly integrate with the organic flow of human life. I am committed to contributing to the evolution of AI/ML to sustainably enhance the quality of human existence.

I completed my undergrad in ECE + CS at Rutgers through the Honors College. Prior to that I completed my post-secondary education in Bangladesh, where I was born and brought up.
