I am a Computer Science PhD student at the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah. I work at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institue (SCI) as a Graduate Research Assistant. At SCI, I work with Dr. Paul Rosen. Currently, we are investigating how people annotate different chart types when they want to communicate information using them. We are also building a peer review dashboard with the aim of improving the quality of peer reviews. Before joining the University of Utah, I earned my Master's in Computer Science degree from the Computer Science and Engineering department at the University of South Florida (USF) in the Summer of 2022. I have completed my Bachelor in Computer Science from the Computer Science and Engineering department at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET).

I consider myself a VISxHCI researcher. I am broadly interested in annotations in visualizations, visualization perception, trust in visualizations, and visualization tools that make people understand their data better. I also have a strong interest in qualitative research.

Outside school, I love to sing and watch football (called Soccer in the US) matches. I am the biggest fan of Real Madrid CF. I can play some of the Bangladeshi traditional instruments that I have learned for over ten years. I consider myself an expert at playing Harmonium. Recently, I am trying to teach myself the Ukulele. 

If you want to know more about me and my research or want to collaborate, or if you are a prospective graduate student with queries about the University of Utah, School of Computing at Utah, SCI Institute, etc., feel free to write me an email. I will be more than happy to chat.
