About Me

I am Raihan Tanvir, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. My research spans generative AI, multimodal learning, and explainability — applied to problems rooted in Bangladeshi language, culture, and society, from preserving cultural heritage through generative modeling to countering online hate, disinformation, and toxicity in Bengali utilizing multimodal AI.

Beyond research, I am deeply invested in teaching and mentoring the next generation of engineers and researchers. I strive to maintain a student-centered, inquiry-driven academic environment, and remain committed to advancing AI through interdisciplinary collaboration and impactful application.
