Hello, This is Taminul Islam. I am currently serving as a Research Assistant at the BASE: Bridging AI, Systems, and Environment Research lab. I am also pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science at School of Computing, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, IL, United States. My research interest lies in the Computer Vision and Deep Learning approaches in agriculture focusing on semantic segmentation, object detection and tracking. I am actively seeking internships as a machine learning or deep learning engineer, data science engineer, where I can contribute to cutting-edge research and development projects that solve computer vision and AI problems.

Biography

Taminul Islam received his Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) with first-class honors in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from Daffodil International University, Bangladesh. During his undergraduate studies, he served as a Research Assistant at the university. After graduation, he began his professional career as a Research and Development Assistant. His academic excellence earned him a Full Free Scholarship throughout his B.Sc. program at Daffodil International University.
