About

I am a PhD Student and Research Assistant at the University of Cincinnati, specializing in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. My research focuses on AI-driven scientific data modeling, scientific data analysis, data visualization, and high-performance computing for scientific discovery. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from Miami University (May 2026). Before graduate school, I spent two years as a software engineer at Therap (BD) Ltd. and Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh, building large-scale backend systems and embedded communication modules.
