Mahamudul Hasan - Portfolio

About Me

I am a PhD Candidate and Research Assistant in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where I specialize in Recommender Systems and Human-Computer Interactions. My current research focuses on the POPROX News Recommender System and MovieLens Movie Recommender Systems, exploring how AI can enhance personalized content delivery and user experience.

With over 8 years of teaching and research experience in Bangladesh, I served as a Senior Lecturer at East West University, where I contributed to cutting-edge research in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Blockchain technologies. My work has been recognized with prestigious awards including the Best Researcher Award, Best Paper Award at CIIR 2023, and a Publication Award from East West University. I am passionate about leveraging artificial intelligence to solve real-world challenges and advancing the frontiers of academic research.
