Mohaimenul Azam Khan Raiaan / রাইয়ান

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Monash University, Australia, and a researcher at the NativeBee+ Tech Facility Lab. I am supervised by Professor Alan Dorin and Associate Professor Ehsan Abbasnejad. My research focuses on computer vision and its applications in the behavioral analysis of bees, with a specific emphasis on algorithm design for 3D modeling.

Previously, I worked as a Consultant-Research Assistant (Remote) at Charles Darwin University, Australia, contributing to both academic and industry-focused projects in computer vision and machine learning. My research focus was inspired by how our sense of sight interacts with other senses to create a cross-modal perception in the brain to understand the surrounding environment in a better way with limited supervision. My broad research goal is based on the same phenomenon, as I aim for computational models to understand the world through visualization, sometimes incorporating other modalities like audio and text, without requiring human guidance.

I strongly believe in the importance of outreach in academia and actively mentor researchers from Bangladesh in the Applied Artificial Intelligence and INtelligent Systems Lab (AAIINS Lab) on AI-based projects. To encourage broader global engagement, I host The Half Hour Hustle | Raiaan (calendar link) every Friday from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM (Melbourne time), where anyone around the world can connect for discussions on research, ideas, and collaboration.
