Introduction

Hello, I'm Joy!

I am a researcher from Dhaka, Bangladesh, currently based in Dallas, Texas, with an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Delaware.

I design AI systems at the intersection of social good, healthcare, and computer vision — with a core commitment to making machine learning practical, accessible, and impactful in real-world settings. My work spans medical image segmentation, air quality sensing, and assistive technology, grounded in deep learning architectures, convolutional and attention-based models, and efficient training strategies. I have developed methods such as: BAMPolyp (ICCVW '25), a Bi-Axial Mamba bottleneck architecture for gastrointestinal polyp segmentation; AQI-Net (Nature Sci. Rep. '23), a smartphone-based deep learning approach for location-specific air quality index estimation; and InvoConvNet (EAAI '24), an involution-fused convolutional network for classifying eye-tracking patterns in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

My current focus is on Reliable AI in Healthcare — specifically small and vision-language models (SLMs and SVLMs) adapted for low-resource clinical settings, mitigating hallucination in medical LLMs, leveraging multilingual models for non-English clinical texts, and improving the transparency of AI in clinical decision-making.

My Erdős number is 4.

Outside research: avid gamer (LePotatoGuy), anime enthusiast, cyclist, and a chess player rated ~400 — which means I lose often and confidently. Feel free to challenge me anyway.
