Hi, I'm Faisal!
I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of California, Riverside.
Modern biotechnological advancements are accelerating the process of generating vast amount of biological data. It has become impossilbe to look at these data one by one.
So, it is critical to analyze these data intelligently to uncover new biological insights. My research lies at the intersection of Machine Learning and Computational Biology,
with a specific focus on developing machine learning methods for biological data to advance our understanding of biology. Biological data encompasses a wide range of modalities,
and I am particularly drawn to proteomics, molecular and cellular data, and their applications in immunology.
I work with
Stefano Lonardi
to solve computationally challenging biological problems. Currently, I am working on training and finetuning large language mdoels (LLMs)
to understand, evaluate and design antibodies.
For about 6 years, I taught at the university level in undergraduate program. I mostly took
classes of Discrete Mathematics, Programming Languages, Database Systems, and Operating Systems.
I am currently on leave from Brac University, Bangladesh. I'm from a lovely city of the country - Chattogram.
