Hi!

I'm Md Jaber Al Nahian, a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Calgary, deeply engaged in the fields of image and video understanding, with a focus on image segmentation. My research spans across precision agriculture and medical imaging, as I work on harnessing large foundation models to tackle complex computer vision tasks.

Alongside my studies, I serve as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and Research Assistant at UCalgary. I'm passionate about mentoring undergraduates, guiding them through the world of deep learning. Beyond academics, I love exploring new places, hiking, and making lasting connections with people from diverse backgrounds.
