About Me

Hi, this is Alif! I am a CSE graduate. I completed my Bachelors degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in May, 2023. I am currently working as a Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Asia Pacific.

I have a general interest in mathematics, and my current research interests revolve around areas such as Data Mining, Human Computer Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. During my undergrad, I enjoyed courses that involved a lot of mathematics, such as Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Linear Algebra and Probability and Statistics. I believe we can use mathematics to solve many of the problems we face today. With the use of necessary data and proper modeling, we can uncover new and remarkable insights.

Apart from my academic pursuits, I have a passion for music. I sometimes play the strings. I find that music and mathematics are not unrelated; that's why I'm drawn to both areas. I served as the treasurer of BUET's cultural club, Murchhona.

I am open to any collaborative research work if you're interested. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or just want to say hi!

Research
