About
I grew up in Bangladesh and studied Mechatronics Engineering at RUET, where I spent as much time in the lab as the timetable allowed — IoT safety systems (one led to my first paper, at ICMIME 2022), a smart streetlight controller, and eventually my undergraduate thesis on real-time Bangla Sign Language recognition. That thesis grew into the largest thing I’ve built: a 9,010-video continuous BdSL dataset and recognition pipeline, now under review.
In my final year I joined AMIR Lab as a research assistant — work I still do remotely, on hierarchical coarse-to-fine models for GI endoscopy analysis — and after graduating I taught Computer Algorithms and System Analysis as a lecturer in Varendra University’s CSE department. Teaching forced me to properly understand fundamentals I thought I already knew. Earlier, an industrial traineeship at Monno Ceramic Industries (PLC-controlled kilns, robotic glazing arms) showed me what production constraints do to elegant designs.
In September 2025 I moved to Guildford for the Computer Vision, Robotics and Machine Learning MSc at the University of Surrey, where I’m averaging 90.5% across modules spanning vision, deep learning, robotics, and medical robotics.
What I’m looking for
PhD positions (2026/27 start) in medical image analysis, conditional computation, or sign language understanding — and CV/ML engineering roles where models ship to real users. If my work overlaps with yours, email me; I reply.
