Who I Am

I'm a Mechatronics Engineer turned AI Researcher, specializing in generative models, medical imaging, and continual learning. I graduated from RUET, Bangladesh and currently work as a Research Assistant at the University of Queensland, Australia.

My work spans diffusion models, frequency-domain learning, knowledge distillation, and federated learning — with a focus on making generative systems efficient enough to run under real-world compute constraints.

I've collaborated across Australia, Japan, and Bangladesh, and I'm actively seeking PhD/MSc opportunities in Europe and North America.
