Research Profile

I am a medical physics and biomedical engineering graduate focused on AI in oncology, radiomics and dosiomics, medical imaging, radiation therapy, and explainable AI. My research asks a practical question before deployment: do machine-learning models developed on one population remain reliable when applied to another, especially where South Asian patients are underrepresented in validation cohorts?

I combine hands-on clinical workflow experience (CT simulation, treatment-plan review, IMRT / VMAT / DIBH quality assurance) with reproducible computational research and open-source scientific software. I am seeking graduate research at the intersection of clinical medical physics, quantitative imaging, trustworthy machine learning, and equitable cancer care.

Research & Clinical Work

Research Assistant
Jan 2025 - Apr 2026
Square Hospitals Square Hospitals Ltd. · Ahsania Mission Ahsania Mission Cancer and General Hospital

Collaborative research role across two oncology centres in Dhaka (one project, multi-site data and clinical exposure).

  • Led a lung-cancer analytical study using clinical imaging data from two major oncology centres in Dhaka.
  • Developed a forensic DICOM processing pipeline recovering 92.5% of corrupted local cases.
  • Extracted 107 radiomic and dosiomic features across 597 patients from three institutions (public TCIA + two local hospitals).
  • Quantified cross-population generalizability; investigated underrepresentation of South Asian cohorts in radiomics/dosiomics validation.
  • Built machine-learning classification models with SHAP-based explainability; open-sourced under MIT license.
  • Participated in CT simulation, treatment-plan review, and clinical QA (IMRT, VMAT, DIBH-3DCRT) alongside medical physicists.
  • Worked with Dr. Md. Anwarul Islam (then at Square Hospitals Ltd.; currently Principal Medical Physicist, Clinical Oncology, United Healthcare Services Ltd.) and Prof. Dr. Md Jahangir Alam (Ahsania Mission Cancer and General Hospital).
Research Intern
Oct 2025 - Apr 2026
CBHR Center for Bio-Health Research Bangladesh (CBHR) · Remote · Competitively selected (FRONTIER-02)
  • Conducted a systematic literature review of ANKRD22 across 15+ cancer types, cross-verifying 32 primary studies against PubMed and DOI records.
  • Mapped three oncogenic axes (NuSAP1/Wnt, E2F1, glycolytic reprogramming) and the gene’s protective role in immune cells.
  • Identified the lack of a TCGA-wide pan-cancer analysis as the central research gap, and designed an analysis workflow (expression, survival, immune infiltration, methylation, pathway enrichment) for follow-up.
Project Lead: EMG Nerve Tracking Device
2025
Biomedical Hardware Project
  • Designed and prototyped a low-cost EMG device using Arduino Uno and surface electrodes for post-surgical muscle-activation monitoring.
  • Programmed initial data acquisition in C; conducted hardware testing and literature review on signal filtering.
