5. Research experience Research experience
Over the past five years with my B.Sc. (Engg.) thesis advisor, I have cultivated a keen interest in the field of AI and medical expert system in healthcare and optimization technique for expert system under uncertainty.
Currently, I am working with “B.Sc. (Engg.) advisor” studying artificial intelligence and machine learning technique in healthcare domain considering uncertainty and optimization in medical disease diagnosis & prediction and sustainable computing using RIMER method and various optimization tools.
My B.Sc. (Engg.) thesis on “A BRB expert system to suspect ACS under uncertainty” has published in Springer journal of Soft Computing
My M.Sc. (Engg.) thesis on “A Neuro-BRB Medical Expert system for medical disease diagnostic classification and prediction” is preparing to submit in ACM Transaction of Intelligent Systems and Technology (TIST)
I have published eight research papers, including IEEE Transaction and ISI Q1 Springer journal of soft computing.

6. Research proposal Research proposal
Application of AI, WSN and Machine learning technique in medical healthcare is the most challenging research area.
In the context of Bangladeshi e-healthcare, these techniques are playing a very important role in terms of connecting people.
Many people of Bangladesh are suffering from various medical diseases like diabetes and Cardiovascular diseases but they are hardly aware of its signs, symptoms and risk factors
e-healthcare and medical science since this has been my area of interest since my undergraduation
The advancement in ICT has led to easy accessibility of faster communication for rural communities. The contribution of cheap ICT for the development of our economy cannot be denied. It will need to improve the medical sectors of Bangladesh.
Propose for doing research on medical healthcare by using AI, WSN, Machine learning techniques.
