Research

Adaptive Federated Learning for Heterogeneous Environments

Manuscript in preparation — targeting conference submission

2025

Proposed and implemented a novel pipeline combining gradient-based client clustering with a Knowledge Distillation framework to address non-IID data distributions in federated settings
Designed the full system architecture and wrote the majority of the codebase independently
Supervised by Debajyoti Karmaker, formerly AIUB, now University of Queensland

Hidden Knowledge Elicitation in Large Language Models

Research in progress — targeting submission within 2 months

2025 — Present

Investigating systematic methods to surface latent knowledge in LLMs that standard prompting fails to elicit
Contributions span model interpretability, alignment, and evaluation methodology

Experience

Private Tutor — Sciences & Mathematics

Self-employed — Dhaka, Bangladesh

Mid 2022 — Present

Tutored 3–4 students simultaneously across Grade 8–12 in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Higher Mathematics, and ICT
Delivered 5 hours of instruction per week per student consistently alongside full-time degree and research commitments
Developed strong ability to explain complex technical and scientific concepts clearly — directly applicable to academic teaching assistantships

Projects

Church Event Ledger & Ticket Reconciliation System

Full-Stack Software — Real World Deployment

2025

Built in 3 days to manage ticket sales and financial reconciliation for a church revival event
Reduced end-of-night accounting time from 15–20 minutes to under 5 minutes — a 75% reduction
Deployed and used across 5 consecutive events in a real production environment

Proximity Sensor Aid for the Visually Impaired

Hardware — Embedded Systems

2023

Built a wearable obstacle detection system using Arduino Nano, HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, and an experimental Time-of-Flight sensor for close-range precision
Identified key limitations (bulk, cost of AI-based object recognition) and outlined a clear improvement path
