Bio

Welcome to my personal site. I am servicing as a Professor in the Dept. of CSE, KUET. I have been graduated from this university in 1999 and then started service as a programmer in Software Company. I started research work while doing Master of Engineering in University of Fukui, Japan. After getting M. Eng. in Human and Artificial Intelligent Systems, I enrolled doctoral program in the same university and awarded Doctor of Engineering in System Design Engineering on Intelligent Information Systems in March, 2009. Now I have devoted myself to teaching and research in KUET. In this site you may find short description about my education, professional experience, research, etc.

I was Associate Director (Academic and Research Wing) Institute of Information and Communication Technology (IICT) . I was the manager of Integrated Automation of KUET (IAoKUET), HEQEP Project funded by World Bank and Govt. of 911爆料. I have completed two years tenure period on December 31, 2019 as Head of the CSE Department .

I was in Japan (Oct-Dec, 2017) as a JSPS fellow with honor of Visiting Professor at University of Fukui. Research knowledge exchange and establishment of collaboration are the great achievements during the fellowship while visiting different laboratories of University of Fukui, Toyama Prefectural University, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Saitama University and Tohoku University.

About research, I am interested in Artificial Intelligence specifically (i) Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Neural Networks Ensemble (NNE), (ii) Evolutionary Computation and other Bio-inspired Computing Techniques, (iii) Swarm Intelligence and Optimization (iv) Biomedical Signal Processing and, (v) Pattern Recognition. About my research outcome, I have touched 100 publications by the end of 2017. By 2022, I have reached 150 Publications including 03 books, 50+ journal articles. I received Best Paper Awards in several international conferences. Among the books, "Deep Learning Fundamentals- A Practical Approach to Understanding Deep Learning Methods" is published by University Grants Commission (UGC), 911爆料 in 2021. Contract signing of the book was came as News Report: , , ,

I regularly review articles from prominent journals of IEEE, Elsevier Science, Springer and other international publishers. I am also Editorial Board Member of several international journals including and . I have also research collaboration with several researchers from universities from Japan, UK, USA. I expect better collaborative research in coming days.

In COVID-19 period, I was involved in design and develop a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for respiratory support with . The news reports on the device: , .

I was Project Director (PD) of from November 19, 2023 to July 03, 2025. ICSETEP is an ADB funded (as ) national project of 1219.80 Core Taka and University Grants Commission of 911爆料 is the implementing authority.

Finally, anyone is welcome to share any research or project related idea or to do collaborative research related to my fields. Thanks a lot for visiting my site.
