From taking care of my cancer-stricken grandma Nini at 8 to being bedridden from COVID myself at 17, I've grown a passion for solving health problems through research. In the last few years, I’ve been extremely fortunate to develop skills in data science and machine learning at the New York Genome Center, Google, and Nobel laureate Joachim Frank's lab at Columbia University. Now, I'm working as a researcher with Professor Luis Gravano under Columbia’s Computer Science Department, developing ML models to identify foodborne illness hotspots in restaurants and inform the NYC Department of Health’s public health policies to reduce illnesses around the city. Prior to that, while leading analysis on COVID-19 data for the Bangladesh Ministry of Health, I co-authored several publications on statistical modeling of disease dynamics with researchers and epidemiologists at Harvard, UC Berkeley, and Cambridge.
