About Me
Hi! I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Maine, advised by Dr. Zihan Wu in the Puffin Lab 🐧. I study the intersection of Computing Education and Generative AI, with a focus on designing programming learning tools and pedagogical frameworks for novices.
I previously worked as a Lead Researcher at Elite Lab. I earned my BSc in CSE from the American International University-Bangladesh. Before graduation, I worked as a Research Assistant at AIUB under the supervision of Dr. Akinul Islam Jony.
