I am a Research Assistant at BRAC University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, where I work on AI-Powered Contradiction and Conflict Detection in Evolving Documents, developing Natural Language Processing pipelines that identify logical inconsistencies and temporal conflicts across document versions.

I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering (Major in Data Science) at United International University (UIU), graduating with a GPA of 3.98/4.0. My undergraduate thesis, Translation Tangles: Performance Benchmarking and Bias Detection in LLM-Based Translation Across Language Families and Domains, was supervised by Swakkhar Shatabda, Md. Mofijul Islam and Tasnim Mohiuddin, and was later extended into a paper accepted at the Findings of ACL 2026.

My research interests are Natural Language Processing, Multilingualism, Representation Learning and Multimodal Learning. I am particularly interested in how large language and vision–language models behave beyond English; their reasoning, cultural grounding, hallucination behaviour, and the performance gaps they carry across language families, dialects, and low-resource settings. Alongside this, I build multimodal datasets and benchmarks for real-world problems such as public-health surveillance, accessibility, and online harm detection.

My work has appeared at ACL, EMNLP, EACL, ICLR (Tiny Papers Track, Notable Top 5%), *SEM, CVPR and NeurIPS workshops, as well as in journals including IEEE Access, Data in Brief and Applied Sciences. I also serve the community as a reviewer for ACL Rolling Review, *SEM 2026 and several Springer Nature journals. Previously I was a Research Assistant at the MIRA Wing, CCDS, Independent University Bangladesh, an AI Intern at Ontik Technology, and an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant at UIU. A full record is in my CV and on Google Scholar.
