  • Co-led manuscript development and technical report preparation that resulted in publications in peer-reviewed journals and IEEE conferences.
  • Collaborated in regular research meetings to address experimental challenges and accelerate progress in multimodal and explainable AI projects.

Research Assistant, Ulster University Coleraine, Northern Ireland

School of Computing, Supervisor: Dr. Nazmul Siddique Jan 2023 – Present

  • Investigating multimodal data fusion methods for improved object recognition using large-scale datasets and hybrid Transformer–CNN architectures.
  • Developed data preprocessing pipelines that reduced multimodal noise and improved data consistency.
  • Implemented optimized feature fusion models capturing both low-level interactions and high-level semantic relationships across visual, audio, and textual modalities.
  • Contributed to the creation and annotation of large multimodal datasets for benchmarking feature extraction and model evaluation.
  • Evaluated model performance using precision, recall, F1-score, and trustworthiness metrics, preparing results for journal publications and conference presentations.
  • Explored real-time deployment of multimodal systems through computational optimization for feasible implementation in edge-AI environments.

Research Assistant, East West University Dhaka, Bangladesh

Center for Research and Training (CRT), Supervisor: Dr. Fakir Mashuque Alamgir Oct 2025 – Present

  • Conducting research on multimodal fusion and transformer-based deep learning models for early detection of glaucoma.
  • Developing and evaluating an explainable AI (XAI) framework to improve interpretability and clinical trust in medical image diagnostics.
  • Designing a mobile application integrating the trained model for real-time glaucoma risk prediction and screening.
