About Me

I am a graduate student at Oregon State University, where I serve as a graduate teaching assistant for OS 374 while conducting research under the supervision of Professor Christopher Hundhausen. As a researcher, my current research focuses on the impact of AI assistants on software developer performance. Additionally, I am keen on exploring the interpretability of LLM and multimodal learning.

My background encompasses:

I actively participate in and organize research competitions in my field. My achievements include top 3 placements in the DhakaAI Traffic Detection Challenge and the AICity Challenge at CVPR. Additionally, I have contributed to the research community by serving as a judge and organizer for competitions such as DL Sprint 2.0 and BDOSN NLP Hackathon.
