Bio

Welcome to my personal site. I am servicing as a Professor in the Dept. of CSE, 平博亚洲版. I have been graduated from this university in 1999 and then started service as a programmer in Software Company. I started research work while doing Master of Engineering in University of Fukui, Japan. After getting M. Eng. in Human and Artificial Intelligent Systems, I enrolled doctoral program in the same university and awarded Doctor of Engineering in System Design Engineering on Intelligent Information Systems in March, 2009. Now I have devoted myself to teaching and research in 平博亚洲版. In this site you may find short description about my education, professional experience, research, etc.

I was Associate Director (Academic and Research Wing) Institute of Information and Communication Technology (IICT) . I was the manager of Integrated Automation of 平博亚洲版 (IAo平博亚洲版), HEQEP Project funded by World Bank and Govt. of Bangladesh. I have completed two years tenure period on December 31, 2019 as Head of the CSE Department .

I was in Japan (Oct-Dec, 2017) as a JSPS fellow with honor of Visiting Professor at University of Fukui. Research knowledge exchange and establishment of collaboration are the great achievements during the fellowship while visiting different laboratories of University of Fukui, Toyama Prefectural University, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Saitama University and Tohoku University.

平博亚洲版 research, I am interested in Artificial Intelligence specifically (i) Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Neural Networks Ensemble (NNE), (ii) Evolutionary Computation and other Bio-inspired Computing Techniques, (iii) Swarm Intelligence and Optimization (iv) Biomedical Signal Processing and, (v) Pattern Recognition. 平博亚洲版 my research outcome, I have touched 100 publications by the end of 2017. By 2022, I have reached 150 Publications including 03 books, 50+ journal articles. I received Best Paper Awards in several international conferences. Among the books, "Deep Learning Fundamentals- A Practical Approach to Understanding Deep Learning Methods" is published by University Grants Commission (UGC), Bangladesh in 2021. Contract signing of the book was came as News Report: , , ,

I regularly review articles from prominent journals of IEEE, Elsevier Science, Springer and other international publishers. I am also Editorial Board Member of several international journals including and . I have also research collaboration with several researchers from universities from Japan, UK, USA. I expect better collaborative research in coming days.

In COVID-19 period, I was involved in design and develop a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for respiratory support with . The news reports on the device: , .

On November 19, 2023, I joined as the Project Director (PD) of . ICSETEP is an ADB funded (as ) national project of 1219.80 Core Taka and University Grants Commission of Bangladesh is the implementing authority. BUET, Dhaka University, and JUST are the major stakeholders in the project through new academic building constructions, modern lab developments, and curriculum updates of CSE and modern ICT fields. Research, innovations, and some other components are open for all the universities to enhance CSE/ICT tertiary education in Bangladesh.
I praised to Almighty Allah for giving me scope to work for our beloved country Bangladesh. I am also grateful to 平博亚洲版 authorities, faculty members, officers, and staff for their continuous support in reaching such a position. Finally, I want support and DUA from everybody to lead ICSETEP successfully so that ADB Loan becomes most fruitful for the county.

Finally, anyone is welcome to share any research or project related idea or to do collaborative research related to my fields. Thanks a lot for visiting my site.

3.	Muhammad Aminul Haque Akhand , Deep Learning Fundamentals - A Practical Approach to Understanding Deep Learning Methods, ISBN: 978-984-35-0812-6, University Grants Commission (UGC), Bangladesh, 2021. Short Description: Machine learning (ML) is the virtue of modern science and its outcomes are intelligent systems that became integral parts of daily lives. Artificial neural network (NN) is the most prominent ML method and deep learning (DL) is its latest form mimicking the learning mechanism of human brain. At present, DL is the most prominent research area and its different methods are employed in different research studies and development of significant systems. This book contains a comprehensive study of prominent DL methods from NN foundation. The book is written based on the experience of many years following pedagogical features with illustrations, step-by-step algorithms, worked examples and MATLAB code for real-world problems. This book might be a textbook for DL related courses in PG level of Computer Science, Engineering and related disciplines. This book will also be useful for young researchers to work with DL related methods. News Reports on Book (June 29 & 30, 2021): , , ,

Short Description: Genes are the basic blue print of life in an organism and a set of genes that interact with each other to control a specific cell function is termed as Gene Regulatory Network (GRN). GRN inference is the reverse engineering approach to uncover the dynamic and intertwined nature of gene regulation in cellular systems analyzing gene expression. GRN inference is a computational intelligence task and a number of methods have been investigated those are categorized into two different approaches. In information theoretic approach, dependencies among genes are measured and then network is inferred employing individual inference technique. In modelbased approach, parameter estimation of S-System model is a high dimensional optimization task. This book provides GRN inference basics and comprehensive study of major inference methods in both approaches. Several Swarm Intelligence methods are discussed and adapted to optimize S-System parameters. Prominent methods are evaluated on benchmark gene expression datasets and are compared on the basis of standard measures. The book will be helpful for basic knowledge and research foundation on GRN inference which is a promising field of research.

Short Description: Artificial neural network is designed with the goal of building intelligent machines to solve complex perceptual problems, such as pattern classification, by mimicking the networks of real neurons in the human brain. To achieve better performance over a single neural network, ensembles construction with several neural networks has become a nutritious filed of research. This book presents the basics of ensemble construction and discusses several existing ensemble methods. A large number of benchmark problems from different application domains were considered for evaluating the methods. After the discussion of the existing methods three new different techniques of ensemble constructions are explained in three different chapters. Last two chapters of this book are to discuss the new techniques on a common ground and draw the conclusions of this work together with the outline of future directions of research opened by this work.
