I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Computing at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute, University of Utah, where I worked in Shape+VIS Lab, advised by Paul Rosen.
I received my M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Utah in 2024 and completed a research internship at Epsilon, a global marketing technology and data company, in 2025. I plan to graduate in December 2026 and am currently seeking for an internship.
I did my Bachelor of Science with a thesis on “Deep Learning and Computer Vision” from Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET) in 2020. After my BSc, I was an R&D intern at Ultra X Asia Pacific, and later joined as a programmer at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2021.
My research intersects between Data Visualization and Deep Learning. Currently, I am developing a declarative layer visualization grammar for deep learning models, which will enable generalized visualization of any deep learning model with a unified interface.
