About

Hello there! This is Dewan Ziaul Karim. Welcome to my webpage. Feel free to browse and contact me if required.

Educator & Teacher.

Everything about me - all at once!

Apart from being a teacher, I like to play computer games. I also like to travel, but find way too less time nowadays to do so.
I also like to watch a lot of tv series. I have watched numerous tv series' in my life. It all started with "Heroes" back in 2010-2011 I think. Still continuing. I think I watched all popular tv series, and some really unpopular gems too. I am not into hindi tv series as I don't understand the language. Recent watch was "Succession".

Summary

Dewan Ziaul Karim

My research interest lies in the domain of computer vision and machine learning. My goal is to push the limits of visual recognition systems and solve real-world problems by investigating novel areas in computer vision, including object detection, image segmentation, and deep learning techniques. Hence, I intend to prepare myself as a dedicated researcher and academician in the field of computer vision and machine learning. I also plan to share my knowledge with others so that they can reach their full potential and build a successful career in the global market.
