Bio

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Maryland, College Park and an incoming Assistant Professor of CS at the University of Iowa. I study how data visualization can help us to address key human concerns (e.g., fairness, transparency, and provenance) in AI-assisted applications. Please see my CV, research statement, and publications for more details.

I obtained a Master's in Computer Science from Stony Brook University and a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. My official first name is Md Naimul, but you can call me Naimul (pronunciation: na-ei-mul). Md stands for Mohammod, a common name in Bangladesh. It is so common that at some point, we started using the short form!
