Work History

Undergraduate Research Intern

Rhodes College Physics Department
06.2025 - Current

Conducted micromagnetic/microfluidic research using Permalloy discs and Dynabeads; developed Python scripts for automated particle tracking (Fiji/TrackMate), improving analysis efficiency by 30%. Optimized data pipelines for trajectory analysis, reducing processing time by 40%. Calibrated Arduino-based instruments (±0.5µm precision). Awarded competitive MacArmour Fellowship (top 2 college-wide)

Founder

Outsmarting Einstein (student-led Initiative)
07.2022 - Current

Designed low-resource STEM curricula for 200+ students (60% female), using Python-based tools with Bangla localization and hands-on simulations (e.g., rickshaw physics), leading to 15% pursuing STEM degrees. Partnered with WaterAid Banglaesh to develop health advocacy simulations and trained 25+ volunteers, scaling program reach by 300%.

Instructor

InclusionX
04.2024 - 07.2024

Taught basic Microsoft Office skills and digital literacy to students with cognitive disabilities. Built Python-based picture authentication (77% task completion↑) and tactile keyboards (adopted by 2 schools, 200+ students). Designed Bangla-coded curricula for neurodiverse/low-literacy learners.

Research Project

Collaborative Research: Gender Disparities in Math Anxiety in Bangladeshi Education Systems

Co-led a mixed-methods study on math anxiety in 66 Bangladeshi students (aged 14–25), revealing 83.3% prevalence (2.5× higher in females) linked to stereotypes, role model scarcity, and Olympiad access gaps. Designed surveys, performed statistical analysis (descriptive stats, qualitative coding), and translated findings into STEM curricula for Outsmarting Einstein.
