Farhat Tasnim Progga

I am a PhD student, working on Social & Ethical Computing under Dr. Sabirat Rubya's supervision at Marquette University. Previously, I was an Associate Software Engineer, QA at Therap (BD) Ltd., Bangladesh which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Therap Services, LLC, Waterbury, CT 06708-2240, USA.

I completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering at North South University also, graduated cum laude. I, along with a team of 4 members have designed and executed a noble approach of detecting domestic violence using Deep Learning Techniques as our final year capstone project, and we were under supervision of AKM Bahalul Haque. During my undergrad period, I was a Teaching Assistant in my university for more than one and a half years. I have completed my internship at Banglalink Digital Communications Ltd., Bangladesh, which is the third largest cellular service provider in Bangladesh. In the meantime, I continued to flourish my research interest towards Artificial Intelligence (AI), Human-Centered Machine Learning, Deep Learning Applications; also, since I am a Software Quality Assurance Engineer I started to take in-depth research upon that too. As an outcome of my enthusiasm towards research two of research papers are under reviewing process at IEEE Conferences. Apart from being technical, I also affiliated myself with IEEE, where I performed the responsibilities of a treasurer of the IEEE North South University Women in Engineering Affinity Group Student Branch advised by Dr. Shohana Rahman Deeba and a secretary of the IEEE North South University Industry Application Student Branch Chapter advised by AKM Bahalul Haque.

My research interest lies in Human-Computer Interaction, Human-Centered Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Deep Learning Applications. During my undergraduate study, I involved myself in some projects on video classification as Deep Learning Applications. Regardless, I am flexible to work on any project in such fields, with my foremost motivation to learn new dimensions and contribute to humanitarian technology. Below portrayed are my research works and projects I have done and have been involved so far.

Child Labour Detection Approach

A noble detection approach was designed, implemented and tested, which has the ability to detect child labour happening in the construction areas of the South Asian countries.

Application of Deep Learning Techniques: Domestic Violence Detection

A method of detecting the occurance of domestic violence by dint of deep learning techniques and giving the victims immediate relief from that situation.
