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.

My research lies primarily at the intersection of efficient AI systems, applied computer vision, and resource-constrained deployment. I call this Applied Efficient AI: building machine learning systems that are not just accurate but genuinely deployable, architecturally lean, and grounded in real-world constraints. I work across a broad range of domains, including medical image analysis, environmental sensing, computer vision, and distributed systems. The unifying thread is not the domain, it is the constraint: does the system hold up beyond a lab environment, under real compute budgets, for real users.

Representative work includes BAMPolyp (ICCVW '25), a Bi-Axial Mamba bottleneck architecture for gastrointestinal polyp segmentation; AQI-Net (Nature Sci. Rep. '23), a smartphone-deployable network for location-specific air quality estimation; and InvoConvNet (EAAI '24), an involution-fused architecture for classifying eye-tracking patterns in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Alongside this applied focus, I maintain a research interest in theoretical machine learning, particularly bandit algorithms and reinforcement learning theory.

My Erdős number is 4.

Outside research: avid gamer (known with the in-game name LePotatoGuy), anime enthusiast, cyclist, and a chess player rated ~400 (which means I lose often and confidently). Feel free to test me anyway.
