Biography & trajectory
Khan Raiyan Ibne Reza.
Computer Science researcher at North South University — Research Assistant (1 year), Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (3 semesters), author of 5 benchmark preprints.
The Research-to-Systems Loop
My academic work is driven by a central realization: meaningful AI research in low-resource linguistic contexts cannot rely on unmeasured assumptions; it requires rigorous empirical benchmarks and must be tested in working production software.
Rather than assuming multilingual foundation models generalize to South Asian low-resource languages, I design exhaustive diagnostic benchmarking protocols—such as KrishokChat (85k instances across 13 institutions) and Where Does Retrieval Fail? (1,000 queries over 2,882 knowledge nodes)—to measure exact failure boundaries in colloquial dialectal retrieval, domain-specific grounding, and multimodal document reasoning.
To complete the loop, I translate these diagnostic insights into 7 verifiable, deployed software systems (Next.js, FastAPI, PostGIS, MapLibre GL, CrewAI), testing resilient architectures under real-world conditions in Bangladesh.

Graduate Research Aspirations
I am actively preparing for graduate studies (PhD / MSc by Research) in Computer Science. My primary research interests lie at the intersection of:
1. Safety-Critical NLP
Developing verifiable refusal boundaries and post-generation audit sinks for high-stakes advisory in developing economies.
2. Grounded Multimodal Vision
Mitigating VLM textual confirmation bias and diagnosing model capabilities on non-Latin, historical, and base-16 numerical scripts.
3. Efficient Edge Adaptation
Quantized sub-1B parameter models fine-tuned with multi-task structured supervision for offline edge deployment.
