About me

I am a fourth-year undergraduate student pursuing Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Rutgers University through the Honors College. I completed my post-secondary education in Bangladesh, where I was born and brought up.

I always endeavor to bring curiosity and a steadfast work ethic to all my roles and responsibilities. I have experience conducting research under distinguished faculty at Rutgers & MIT. I also work as an Undergraduate TA and am passionate about creating equitable learning environments for students of all skill-levels and backgrounds. After completing my Bachelor's degree, I plan to pursue a PhD exploring the intersections of Machine Learning, AI, and Human-Computer Interaction to find my path into making opportunities of developing skills in science and technology more accessible in less advanced countries by mobilizing the power of technology itself.
