I am a Professor of Computer Science specializing in computational intelligence, machine learning, and their applications in computational biology and bioinformatics. My PhD research at Griffith University focused on local search heuristics for protein structure prediction. With experience in deep learning, stochastic optimization, and genomics, I have led projects on genome assembly, biomedical image segmentation, and Bangla NLP. I also have an extensive publication record and actively contribute to supervision, peer review, and editorial boards.
