About me

I am a MS/PhD student at UMass Amherst. I am interested to work on artificial intelligence systems to fascilitate and enhance educational outcomes for students. I come from Bangladesh, which is one of the most populous country in the world. Due to lack of resources, students suffer a lot in education. My vision is to build effective technological solutions which would enable students to learn and achieve excellence.

I have worked as a judge and problem-setter in the ICPC Dhaka Regional and other national-level contests for many years. I had the honor of being the Judging Director of ICPC Dhaka Regional 2019, hosted by SEU, and I was a judge at the ICPC Asia West Final 2019. I was the team leader of the Bangladesh IOI team in 2014, and I worked as the academic coordinator for the National High School Programming Contest (NHSPC) from 2015 to 2017.

My best memory as a contestant was winning NCPC 2011 with my team DU_Resonance (with Anna Fariha and Md. Shiplu Hawlader). Despite coming very close multiple times, I never qualified for the ICPC World Finals, but I coached teams from the University of Dhaka and Jahangirnagar University that made it there. I am more proud of those achievements.
