“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it." – Eliezer Yudkowsky

I am enrolled in a Ph.D. program in computer science at the University of Texas at El Paso. My educational background includes a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET). I have been working as a researcher at the SUPREME Lab since Fall'22 under the guidance of Professor Dr. Sajedul Talukder. My primary research focus revolves around areas such as Large Language Model (LLM), Federated Learning, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Social Networks. Previously, I worked as a senior software engineer at Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh, where I made valuable contributions to a collaborative project with Samsung Network Division. Specifically, I focused on the development of web-based tools catering to the needs of 4G and 5G developers. Alongside my professional endeavors, I have actively participated in competitive programming on platforms such as Leetcode, Codeforces, Uva, LightOj, Spoj, and Hackerrank, achieving noteworthy success. Throughout my tenure at Samsung, I consistently demonstrated exceptional performance by securing prizes and earning advanced level certificates in the monthly contests organized by Samsung R&D. My technical expertise encompasses both front-end and back-end development, with responsibilities ranging from requirements analysis to software module design, development, testing, and server deployment. Moreover, I actively engaged in knowledge-sharing activities during my time at Samsung, conducting sessions on topics such as software engineering principles, emerging technologies, and best practices for clean coding. My performance at Samsung led to my selection as a distinguished candidate among many others at Samsung, resulting in an opportunity to collaborate with the Suwon team on diverse projects at Samsung Digital City in Suwon, Korea.
