About Me

Greetings! I am Fatema Tuj Johora Faria, and I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering from Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

I am currently working as an AI Engineer II at Astha.IT, where I bring around 2.5 years of full stack experience in AI applications. My work focuses on architecting, developing, and deploying production-grade agentic solutions. I have hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for building scalable, robust, and high-performance systems, while also focusing on user-friendly interfaces that make AI interactions intuitive.

Research Interests

AI Reasoning & Autonomy:

  • LLM Reasoning: Exploring how large language models can achieve reliable, structured, and multi-step reasoning for tackling challenging real-world scenarios.
  • AI Agents: Examining how AI agents can plan, use tools, collaborate, and adapt to orchestrate complex tasks in dynamic environments.
  • Multimodal AI: Investigating how multimodal models can integrate and reason across diverse modalities (text + images/videos) to improve contextual understanding and decision-making.

Safety, Security, & Alignment:

  • Trustworthy AI: Investigating how AI systems can achieve fairness, explainability, reliability, and accountability across real-world settings.
  • AI Security: Analyzing how language models can withstand adversarial attacks, prompt injection, malicious inputs, and other threats to their reliability and integrity.

Domain-Specific AI Applications:

  • AI for Databases: Investigating how AI can translate user natural language into SQL/NoSQL queries, reason over database schemas, and improve access to structured data across different use cases.
  • AI for Social Good: Exploring how AI can be designed and applied to address societal challenges through accessible, scalable, and impactful solutions.
