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. My work focuses on architecting, developing, and deploying production-grade Agentic AI applications. I have hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for building scalable, robust, and high-performance AI systems, while also focusing on user-friendly interfaces that make AI interactions intuitive.

Research Interests

AI Reasoning & Autonomy: LLM Reasoning, AI Agents, Multimodal AI

  • Investigating LLM Reasoning to develop models capable of structured, multi-step reasoning, complex problem-solving, and reliable decision-making.
  • Developing AI Agents that leverage reasoning, planning, tool use, and task orchestration to automate complex tasks and workflows.
  • Exploring Multimodal AI to enable models to reason across language, vision, and heterogeneous information sources for more capable and context-aware AI systems.

Safety, Security, & Alignment: Trustworthy AI, AI Security

  • Investigating Trustworthy AI to develop reliable, robust, interpretable, and responsible AI systems for real-world deployment.
  • Exploring AI Security to improve the resilience of AI systems against adversarial threats, vulnerabilities, misuse, and security risks.

Domain-Specific AI Applications: AI for Databases (NL2SQL/NoSQL), AI for Social Good

  • Developing AI for Databases systems that translate natural-language queries into SQL/NoSQL and enable more intuitive interaction with structured data.
  • Applying AI for Social Good to address real-world challenges through practical and accessible AI solutions, particularly in domains where AI can create meaningful societal impact.
