Mehedi Hasan Bijoy

I am a Research Assistant 🕵 at AaltoASR research group and am pursuing my MSc at Aalto University, specializing in Speech and Language Processing. Prior to this, I earned my BSc in Computer Science and Engineering with Summa Cum Laude distinction from NSU. 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 MSc Thesis, Multilingual Speech Emotion Recognition, and LLM Compression, focusing on Multi-Teacher Knowledge Distillation and Multimodal Fusion.

I also enjoy playing cricket 🥎\|/🏏, cooking 🧑‍🍳𓏲*ੈ‧˚🥣 without following a recipe, and walking 🌳🚶🏻‍➡️🌴 in the forest.
