Hi there!

I’m a fourth-year Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at Marquette University, advised by Dr. Sheikh Iqbal Ahamed, Ph.D. and co-advised by Dr. Samuel Nemanich, Ph.D., MSCI. My work spans three directions: (1) mobile health systems for neurorehabilitation using multimodal sensors and AI, (2) edge computing and mobile brain-computer interfacing for real-time motor training and neurorecovery, and (3) healthcare security and privacy. I build clinically meaningful, game-based assessments that translate lab-grade motor analysis into in-home care.

Dissertation Topic: Decoding Motor Control Strategies and Neuromotor Assessment using mHealth & AI Integrated Biosensors System
I develop integrated mHealth and real-time AI systems with multimodal biosensors to quantify motor learning and enable motor training for neurorehabilitation.

Background: Originally, I am from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I designed, built, and deployed multiple large‑scale health informatics and machine learning systems, with 3+ years of industry experience. I also worked with the eSystems Research and Development Lab at BUET on clinical research infrastructure and big data analytics.

I’m open to work in Research Scientist roles focused on sensor systems, machine learning, and real-time inference with edge computing.
