I am a Graduate Research Assistant in the VIBE Lab, where I work with Prof. Alvitta Ottley on a research project connected to Waters Corporation focused on improving the company’s proprietary ApexTrack algorithm.
In the past, I have worked with Prof. Raj Jain on quantum cryptographic primitives and secure networked systems. Before starting my PhD, I completed my Master’s in Applied Computer Science at Southeast Missouri State University, where I worked with Prof. Reshmi Mitra. My thesis proposed a blockchain-based access control framework for P2P networks. I received the Outstanding MS in Applied Computer Science Award, given to only one graduating student per academic year in recognition of academic excellence and contributions within the program cohort.
I earned my Bachelor’s in Computer Science from BRAC University in Bangladesh, where I worked with Prof. Md. Golam Rabiul Alam. My thesis explored prostate cancer detection using deep learning and transfer learning.
I volunteered as a mentor with the Code to PhD Mentorship Program from September to December 2025, supporting underrepresented students applying to PhD programs.
Research interests
- Human-centered AI, scientific visualization, and uncertainty quantification. My current work focuses on uncertainty-aware peak detection for GC-MS/chromatographic data, helping scientists understand when an algorithm’s output is stable or uncertain.
- Security and decentralized systems. I have worked on quantum cryptographic protocols, blockchain-based access control, smart-contract mechanisms, and privacy-preserving IoT data access. My broader interests include protocol analysis, threat modeling, and secure decentralized architectures.
