Prospective PhD Researcher specializing in Explainable AI, Agentic Systems, and Healthcare Informatics.

Research Profile

Prospective PhD researcher with a Software Engineering degree and research experience in machine learning, explainable AI, healthcare informatics, and mathematical optimization, alongside a growing interest in agentic AI. My FRGS-funded master’s research focuses on mathematical model development and optimization, while my earlier work addressed dementia and mental-state prediction and medical-image analysis. I have co-authored five journal articles (four published in Q1/Q2) and three conference papers, including a first-author IEEE EEEIC-2025 paper, with more than 88 citations and collaborations spanning Bangladesh, the USA, the UK, and Malaysia. Through doctoral study, I aim to develop reliable, interpretable, and agentic AI systems for healthcare and other high-impact decision-making applications.
