About Me

I am a Research Assistant at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, supervised by Dr. Hong Yu. I'm currently on study leave from my position as a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET).

My research focuses on reinforcement learning for readability control and LLM guardrail breaking and defense, as well as biomedical multilingual machine translation and electronic health record summarization using LLMs. I also explore uncertainty quantification in medical LLMs, with the goal of building safer and more reliable language technologies for healthcare.
