I am an AI ethics and critical design researcher interested in developing responsible, inclusive AI systems that respond to the Majority World/ Global South contexts. I am currently a PhD candidate in Interdisciplinary (AI) Design at the University of Cambridge. I am a member of Cambridge Collective Intelligence and Design (CamCID) Group  and Critical Design Studio, Computer Lab . Beyond my PhD  research, I serve as an early career community committee member at the Centre for Human Inspired AI (CHIA) and contribute to a AI@Cam project around ethically rooted AI for public value.  I also hold an honorary position of Senior Fellow in Majority World AI at the Tech Global Institute.  

I am a Gates Cambridge Scholar (2024), Trinity Hall research scholar (2023), and Commonwealth scholar (2021). I finished my MPhil at the Leverhulme Centre for Future of Intelligence (LCFI), University of Cambridge and worked as a Research Assistant at the same centre after completing my Masters at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM), University of Warwick — all focusing on understanding the hurdles to ensure diversity and plurality in AI. Previously, I worked as a researcher at BIGD, BRAC University and co-developed an inclusive Digital Strategy Primer for Bangladesh by collaborating with the country's government and the Digital Pathways initiative, University of Oxford. Through my current research, I call for more inclusive and human-centred AI design, development and policies to reduce AI's colonial harms, particularly in the Global South.
