Research

My undergraduate thesis, led by Dr. Tarem Ahmed, turned into a conference paper that was published at Tencon, a premier international technical conference of IEEE Region 10, in 2018. We made an inexpensive robot to map interiors using sonar-based SLAM.

I worked at KolpoKoushol, a knowledge initiative led by Dr. Nazmus Saquib, where we published a paper at NeurIPS. Our paper showed that according to three major English newspapers of Bangladesh, there is a clique that exists – or seems to exist according to newspaper coverage – between the top politicians of Bangladesh who only talk about themselves and amongst themselves while ignoring more pertinent issues that exist in the country.
