About Me

Hi there!

I have graduated from North South University back in December 2018. During my undergraduate, I published few conference papers in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction, Human-Robot Interaction and Ubiquitous Computing. My future goal is to become a teacher at the university level. As a result, I am keen to pursue my higher studies in the field of Interactive Systems.


My multidisciplinary research interests are on Ubiquitous Computing, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Data Science, Internet of Things (IoT), and Computer Vision.


Apart from my academic career, I love traveling in my leisure time. Curiosity to know about new things led me to explore different parts of my beautiful country Bangladesh.


I am going to pursue my MSc from January 2021 under the supervision of Dr. Sowmya Somanath and Dr. Charles Perin at University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I will be joining the VIXI and CALEB Labs of UVic. Thanks!
