Mir Sazzat Hossain

Junior Research Scientist at Center for Computational & Data Sciences

A highly motivated and aspiring researcher with a strong background in computer vision and machine learning. Over the past two years, I have actively contributed to the field, publishing research articles in well-regarded conferences such as ICIP and IJCNN. My primary research interests center around various aspects of computer vision and solving real-world problems from different domains using it. Currently, I am working as a Junior Research Scientist at the Center for Computational & Data Sciences (CCDS) at Independent University, Bangladesh. My current research projects include domain adaptation, Mixtures-of-Experts in large multi-modal models (LMMs), protein dynamics prediction using 3D CNNs, and particle jet tagging using graph neural networks. To advance my research experience, I am actively seeking Ph.D. positions in computer vision and machine learning, focusing on topics such as domain adaptation, self-supervised learning, generative models, and vision-language models. I am committed to continuous learning and growth and am excited to contribute to the advancement of computer vision and machine learning research.

As a Junior Research Scientist at CCDS, I lead projects on protein dynamics prediction using 3D CNNs and particle jet tagging with graph neural networks. I am also involved in projects on test-time adaptation and mixtures of experts (MoE) for large multi-modal models (LMMS). Furthermore, I am mentoring two undergraduate thesis projects at IUB.

I developed a RNN based method for image super-resolution (ICIP 2024), and implemented a semi-supervised equivariant CNN for radio galaxy classification (IJCNN 2023). I also conducted tutorials and labs on Basic Programming, Data Structures, AI, and ML at IUB. Additionally, I mentored undergraduates on thesis implementation and write-ups.
