Medical Image Segmentation · Computer Vision · Efficient and Lightweight AI · VLM · Multimodal AI

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Texas A&M University. My research focuses on medical image segmentation, computer vision, efficient and lightweight AI, vision-language models, and multimodal AI. I am interested in building efficient and lightweight AI systems for medical image analysis, computer vision, and broader multimodal learning. Before joining Texas A&M, I worked as a researcher at Kyungpook National University, South Korea, and as a Software Engineer at Samsung Research Bangladesh.
