Hello fellow Earthian, welcome to my page. I am Sheikh Saifur Rahman Jony. I am expected to complete my B.Sc in Computer Science & Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology by April 2023. I have been working with Prof. Dr. M. Sohel Rahman from early 2020 and we have collaborated in numerous project from back then and we have published several articles in different reputated journals and conference.We have worked on different project in the field of Behovorial Science, Natural Language Processing, Social Network Analysis, Agent Based Modelling, Geographical Information Processing and many more. I have received certification from Aspire to Innovate(a2i) of the ICT Division and the Cabinet Division for developing COVID-19 forecasting models for Bangladesh. From April 2022, I have been working in the project Single Cell Omics Data Analysis in collaboration with Dr. Abul Hassan Samee from Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, US. It was not easy to get started in a completely new field and learn life science related topics. But with the great guidance from Dr. Samee and the persisting motivation from Prof. Sohel, I have learnt a lot in this field and currently I am working on multiple projects based on Single Cell Sequencing Data. I take great interest in these projects as finds the feelings and satisfaction that my work is contributing (maybe very very little) towards the advancement of human civilization and I would like to dedicate my upcoming years in doing such meaningful work. I would like to complete my PhD in Single Cell Omics Data Analysis field as well in future.

From my childhood, I have been very fond of outdoor sports. I used to go out every day in the evening and used to play Cricket which is a very popular in my country. I played Cricket regularly from the age of 8 to around 18; until I got busy with my undergrad degree. But still I ocassionally play cricket with my classmates and friends in our university or dorm field. I have always focused on my battting skills and I consider myself a hard-hitting batsman who likes to hit every ball no matter if it is In-Swinger. Out-Swinger or Yorker. In my childhood, I wanted to become many things. Being a crickter used to be one of them. I also played Football, Badminton, Table Tennis a few times. I am not very much fond of Indoor games. But I can play Chess, Uno, Poker etc.

I didn’t travel much till I got in my university. My first tour was in Chittagong with my department friends back in 2019. We visited Kaptai Lake during that tour and that the time I started to fallen in love with mountains. After that I never had to look back. I had my first hiking trip back in November 2019 at Keokradong, the fifth highest peak in Bangladesh. When I was walking through the mountains, I really felt alive. I was enjoying very small things and started to realize how small we are relative to the vastness of the nature. Whenever I find a small vacation I run to the hilly regions of my country. I have visited there more than 10 times in last 3 years. On November 2022,I went to the Himalayas in Nepal for the first time. I went to Poon Hill first from where we can see some magnificent mountains like Dhaulagiri I (7th Highest Peak in the World), Nilgiri, Annapurna I (10th Highest Peak in the world), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Macchapuchare ( A mountain that has never been summited) and many more. Then I went to Annapurna Base Camp situated at 4,130m above sea level. I hiked for more than 120 km for 9 days. Those were one of the best in my life till now. In future I plan to hike to Annapurna Circuit, Everest Base Camp, Mardi Himal, Kanchenjaunga Base Camp, Manaslu Circuit and many more trips the Himalayas has to offer. I always try to find the best balance between my work life, my personal life and my travel life and to me all of them are equally important.
