Research Assistant — Advisor: Dr. Aron Laszka
The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA — Aug 2022 – Aug 2025

Advanced multi-task learning (MTL) research by developing task-affinity–driven grouping strategies, improving gain prediction accuracy, and outperforming baseline MTL gain prediction methods by a wide margin, achieving up to 4x higher correlation with ground-truth gains across computer vision, tabular, time-series, and transportation benchmarks.
Designed scalable MTL training pipelines, including a two-stage ensemble model leveraging gradient dynamics to predict and optimize MTL performance.
Applied automated MTL frameworks to real-world public transit forecasting, enabling data-driven decision support for high-impact transportation systems.

Research Assistant
University of Houston, Houston, TX — Jan 2019 – Jul 2022

Led DOE/NSF-funded ML research in transportation, energy, and security, producing multiple peer-reviewed publications and influencing transit operations.
Built ANN-based energy prediction models reducing MSE by 33%, developed NAS methods for ridership prediction (9% error reduction).
Conducted large-scale NLP and statistical analyses on cybersecurity datasets, uncovering behavioral and security patterns in smart contract development and bug bounty programs.

Teaching Assistant — Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

The Pennsylvania State University — Jan 2025 - May 2025 (Spring 2025)

Assisted in instruction, grading, and student support for undergraduate programming course.

Lecturer — School of Science, Engineering & Technology,

East Delta University, Bangladesh — September 2016 – December 2018

Taught foundational CS and engineering courses, including Programming, Data Structures, Discrete Math, AI, and OS.
Designed course materials and mentored students on research and programming competitions.
Founded the EDU Computer Club, which regularly organized intra- and inter-university coding competitions.

Software & Systems Development Experience

Developed full-stack web and mobile applications (restaurant management, real estate listing, online examination systems) using CorePHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, and jQuery.
Built ML-powered analytics pipelines integrating Python, PyTorch, and TensorFlow with large-scale sensor, GPS, and weather data for automated transit data processing and prediction.
