Biography
I grew up in Bangladesh and completed my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at BRAC University, Dhaka, in 2018. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a Teaching Assistant, fostering my passion for education. After graduation, I joined Leading University, Sylhet, in 2019 as a Lecturer in the Computer Science department, where I guided students in various innovative projects.
In Spring 2021, I was awarded a fully funded scholarship to pursue a Ph.D. at Baylor University. My research centers on Graph Machine Learning, with a focus on GNNs and Graph Contrastive Learning for classification tasks. Over the course of my Ph.D., I have authored 10+ publications and a book chapter, accumulating over 40 citations in three years. I aim to graduate in 2025 under the mentorship of Dr. Mary Lauren Benton and Dr. Erich Baker.
