About Me
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at South Dakota State University, working in the 3D Perception and Scientific Imaging Laboratory under Dr. Ruyi Lian. My current research centers on neural solvers for camera pose estimation, outlier-resilient 3D reconstruction, and benchmarks that probe how well modern vision foundation models actually understand geometry and pose.
This work is grounded in a publication record (9 publications, 298 citations, h-index 5, i10-index 4 on Google Scholar) spanning computer vision, medical image analysis, and cybersecurity, including work published in EURASIP Journal on Information Security, Array (Elsevier), Bioinformatics and Biology Insights, and Big Data and Cognitive Computing. I am an IEEE Graduate Student Member and an ACM Professional Member. I also serve the community as an ad hoc reviewer for PLOS ONE.
Research Interests: Computer Vision · 3D Reconstruction · Camera Pose Estimation · Multi-view Geometry · Geometric Deep Learning · Neural Solvers · Foundation Models for Vision · Medical Image Analysis · Explainable Machine Learning

More About Me
Outside of research, I'm a curious mind with a love for cinema — mostly Bollywood, but I also enjoy diving into thought-provoking films from around the world, from Korean thrillers to quiet arthouse dramas.
When I'm away from the keyboard, you'll usually find me on a long walk in nature, experimenting in the kitchen with Bangladeshi cuisine — especially traditional dishes like fish curry, bhuna khichuri, and traditional 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀 — or simply losing myself in music.
A Few Favorites
- 🎬 Favorite genre: Bollywood dramas & international arthouse cinema
- 🍲 Go-to comfort dish: Bhuna khichuri with a fried egg
- 🎶 Currently on repeat: A mix of old Bangla folk songs and film soundtracks
- 🌿 Weekend ritual: A long nature walk with a good playlist
