Hello, I am Joyanta!
I am from Dhaka, Bangladesh; a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science
at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. Currently, my research work focuses on understanding and exploring the Trustworthiness of Artificial Intelligence, including the Privacy, Safety and Security, with a specific emphasis on Large Language Models
like ChatGPT. Other research interests include Computer Vision, Cloud Computing, and Human-Computer Interaction.
At present, as a dedicated researcher, I am actively engaged in exploring different projects that allow me to delve deeper into the areas that captivate my interest. I have co-authored several conference papers and presented my research papers in different
well-reputed conferences. My researches have been published in premier journals (Nature Scientific Reports, IEEE TCC) and conference (WACV, COMPASS). In addition to doing research, I have the experience
of actively participating as a reviewer in the peer-review process of research papers at different confernce (NeurIPS, ICLR, CHI) and journal (ACM JCSS). Also, I have been honored with several research awards
covering participation grants, travel grants, etc. Outside of my academic interests, I love to play games, watch TV Shows and anime. I love immersing myself in the virtual worlds of my favorite video games
and challenging my friends to epic battles. I am also a big fan of outdoor activities and try to go cycling whenever I get the chance.
Fun fact: My Erdős score is 5.
The Bio I Hope You’ll Read
Meet Joyanta, the ultimate multitasker (when he's not procrastinating, that is)! When he's not busy procrastinating and finding new ways to avoid his responsibilities, you may find him randomly
thinking on how to solve the impossible equation of life, to get the meaning out of it. He is a late sleeping utopian that spends his free time harassing neighbors with his late-night screamings, while playing
online video games. If you have the ill-fate to live on the next-door to his, you may hear him to scream with enthusiastic battle cries like "মার মার!" (Crush them!) in his gaming sessions, in the midnight
when owls should have been hooting instead. While some say he was “born under a struggling sign” or considers him as an enigma or an absolutely useless as a person, he chooses to believe that he is a higher
level Buddha of sorts with great plans and designs on the founding of his empire in the Bengal Region. Also, in an epic twist of fate, he is connected to an extraordinary academic lineage; to legends like
Issac Newton, De Morgan, Thomson, and Rutherford, explaining his unparalleled prowess (though in a way that may leave such great minds scratching their heads, wondering how their legacy ended up with him).
Again, some mention him as a superhero since he stays inactive or randomly gets out of touch in social media messaging even though he is found really proactive sharing memes. Catch him on the gaming world,
where he is known by his in-game name "LePotatoGuy" or "Potato" 🥔, in short which resembles both his physical size and gameplay style. If you want to challenge (and inevitably defeat) him to a game, don't
hesitate to give Joyanta a shout!
