Well, Md. Ashad Alam is a positive person who has a deep outlook on life. He loves his job and he gets a great sense of achievement from seeing his students and scientific community development as individuals. He has been working in the area of statistical science for over 10 years as a teacher as well as a Researcher. He most recently worked as a senior postdoctoral researcher at Tulane center for bioinformatics and genetics, where he serves as a bridge across teaching and research. Since the beginning of his career, he has successfully completed my four-project works.

1. Robustness of Pearson correlation coefficient (In Master’s Thesis)
2. Method for kernel choice in unsupervised learning and its application in pattern recognition (In Ph.D. dissertation)
3. Investigating the diagnosis of mental illnesses using robust statistical and machine learning approaches.
4. A comprehensive analysis of multi-view biomedical data of complex diseases based on deep learning and adversarial
machine learning methods.

 

His research interests are theoretical and computational aspects of statistical machine learning, representation learning, combinatorial algorithms, robust statistics, and their applications to multiview biomedical data analysis. Alam's work is published in peer-reviewed journals including Neurocomputing, Computational Statistics and Data Analysis, Journal of Neuroscience Methods, POLS one, and so on. By the work on statistical machine learning, he received a Ph.D. in Statistical Science from the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, the Graduate University of Advanced Studies, Tokyo, Japan in September 2014. He achieved his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Statistics in 2004 and 2005, respectively from the Department of Statistics, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. 

 

He was also a postdoctoral fellow of Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University School of Science and Engineering from November 2015 to September 2017, New Orleans, USA. He was a Lecturer, an Assistant Professor, an Associate Professor, and a Professor from September 2005 to January 2008; from February 2008 to August 2013, from September 2013 to December 2017, and from January 2018 to January 2019 at the Department of Statistics, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Sciences & Technology University, Bangladesh,  respectively. He is also a member of the American Statistical Association and the Tulane Center of Bioinformatics and Genomics, Tulane University, New Orleans, USA.
