About
I'm a Ph.D. student in computer science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, working on human-computer interaction and human-AI collaboration. Most of my current work asks how older adults decide whether to trust technologies designed for aging, and what that means for building AI systems people can understand and question.
Before NJIT, I did my B.Sc. in computer science and engineering at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) in Bangladesh, where I worked on usable security and blockchain systems.

Research interests
I study how people experience intelligent technologies. Right now that mostly means older adults: how they build, withhold, and repair trust in systems designed for aging, and what appropriate reliance on AI should look like for people who are not experts in it.
I work mainly with qualitative and mixed methods, and I try to turn what I learn into concrete design guidance for systems that are more transparent and more accessible. See Publications for the full list.
