Academic Achievements
  • Secured 1st position at Huggingface JAX/FLAX Community Event; received Global Teaching Fellowship by Delta Analytics for 2021 session; University Merit Scholarship for academic excellence in all trimesters, UIU; one of the contributors in the Bengali translation of Yann LeCun and Alfredo Canziani's Deep Learning course at NYU.
Research Experience
  • Worked on multiple projects including DALL·E mini (a JAX/FLAX implementation of OpenAI’s DALL·E but ~30 times smaller), GPT-2 Bengali (the very first implementation of GPT-2 for Bengali), Bengali Lyricist (a deep generative model that generates Bengali song lyrics), and more.
Education
  • Pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Background
  • An incoming CS Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland, College Park. I take great interest in Deep Learning research, specifically self-supervised representation learning and deep generative modeling. I care about making models broadly applicable by ensuring robustness, sample efficiency, and interpretability.
Miscellany
  • Interested in visualizations, photography, and cinema.
