Mehedi Hasan Bijoy

I am currently working as a Research Assistant at AaltoASR research group and pursuing my MSc degree at Aalto University, specializing in Computer, Communication, and Information Sciences, with a primary focus on Speech and Language Technology. Prior to this, I earned my BSc degree in Computer Science and Engineering with Summa Cum Laude distinction from NSU in 2021. I worked as a lecturer at BUBT, as a research assistant at IAR-UIU, and as a teaching assistant followed by a lab instructor at NSU.

My ongoing research includes accented English speech recognition and multilingual LLM compression, focusing on Multi-Teacher Knowledge Distillation and Multimodal Fusion.
