About

Hi there! My name is Sadia Nasrin Tisha and I am excited to be pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County under the supervision of Dr. Rebecca Williams and Dr. Sanorita Dey. My primary area of research is Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Human Computer Interaction(HCI). I recently completed my Master's degree in Computer Science from Baylor University and completed my Bachelor degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Brac University , where I had the opportunity to explore the fascinating world of Machine Learning and HCI. This experience has ignited my passion for research and driven me to pursue my current goals.
