Research Assistant
Young Learners' Research Lab  ·  Rajshahi, Bangladesh

Contributed to projects aimed at improving machine learning models across three key research tracks:

Explainable Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
GitHub
  • Contributed to the development of RAG system for low-resource and noisy text environments, mitigating hallucinations through retrieval-grounded generation.
  • Utilized BM25 (lexical keyword matching) and Contriever (dense semantic retrieval) model for retrieving relevant answers.
  • Integrated these retrieval pipelines with generator models such as Flan-T5 and Llama-3 Instruct.
Gastrointestinal Disease Classification
GitHub
  • Developed GAN-based augmentation strategies to address class imbalance in gastrointestinal disease datasets.
  • Utilized preprocessing techniques including CLAHE, Gaussian smoothing, MSRCR, and bilateral filtering to suppress compression artifacts.
  • Trained and compared multiple architechtures(ConvMixer, ConvNext-Tiny, and Swin Transformer) with stratified k-fold validation.
Deepfake Video Detection using InceptionNet
GitHub
  • Designed a 3D InceptionNet framework for multi-class deepfake detection on FaceForensics++ (6 categories).
  • Implemented three-phase conditional training strategy using transfer learning to address class imbalance, significantly improving minority class performance.
  • Evaluated robustness across five manipulation techniques with comprehensive confusion matrix analysis.

Junior UI Developer
Syncrosis Lab  ·  Dhaka, Bangladesh
  • Developed frontend components and features using TypeScript, React & Tailwind CSS.
  • Contributed to two client projects: an Inventory Management System (e-commerce) & Trip-Portal (travel agency website).
  • Implemented dynamic search, filtering, modals, live data updates, and interactive maps to enhance usability and functionality.
