More about me

I did my undergrad at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating in 2023. I was Chair of the Educational Studies Program, which organized large events where middle and high school students came to MIT campus and took classes by MIT students on anything and everything. I was president of the Dormitory Council, working with various stakeholders to improve student life for over 3,500 dorm residents. I lived in East Campus on 4th East/Slugfest.

Before that I grew up in Bangladesh. I participated in Math Olympiads from 2011 to 2018, and won Bangladesh's first gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad. I helped run the Chittagong Math Circle, and was a trainer for Bangladesh's Math Camps from 2017 through 2019.
