About me

I am a Full-time Lecturer at Presidency University and a recent graduate in Computer Science and Engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), with research interests in machine learning and computational biology.

My undergraduate thesis focused on kRISP-meR, a reference-free sgRNA design framework for CRISPR/Cas9, and I have contributed to multiple research works in NLP and multimodal learning. Alongside my academic and research endeavors, I have professional experience in full-stack web development and AI infrastructure from my tenure as a developer at LimbicsAI.

Undergraduate Thesis

  1. kRISP-meR

    May 2025 — June 2026

    A reference-free sgRNA design framework for CRISPR/Cas9 that operates directly on sequencing reads without reliance on reference genomes. The method uses k-mer based probabilistic modeling to generate efficient and specific guide RNAs, addressing limitations in existing reference-dependent pipelines. The system demonstrates improved flexibility for low-resource genomic settings and enables scalable guide design in non-model organisms.
