Ananna Biswas

Hello, I am Ananna. a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering at Michigan Technological University. I am working in the Brain-Inspired AI Lab as a Research Assistant under the supervision of Dr. Hongyu An . My current project is on neuromorphic deep brain stimulation system. I received my B.Sc. degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) from Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET), Khulna, Bangladesh in 2019.

As a part of my skill development, I participated in the NMA Summer School of Computational Neuroscience course in 2022 and completed the project (Activity in Mouse Visual Cortex Predicts Spontaneous Running Behaviour) successfully. Our abstract regarding the project work (Exploring the Mouse Visual Cortex) had been accepted as a flash talk in neuromatch conference 2022. In addition, I also attended BCI & Neurotechnology Spring School 2022 , organized by g.tec medical engineering GmbH.

Before attending these summer schools, I worked as a Research Engineer in the AimsLab, at United International University (UIU), Dhaka. I predicted consumers’ preference, their purchase intention, and attention for specific marketing stimuli through machine learning models using EEG signals and Eye-tracker. My study on neuromarketing led to a conference paper, An Overview of Neuromarketing Research in Developing Countries which was published in ACM. Prior to this, I hold a position as a Research Assistant in an AI-based software company, named Brainekt where I conducted research on breast-cancer image classification, ECG signal analysis, and monitoring wheelchair patients using EEG signals and published two conference paper, namely Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Detection by A Gated Recurrent Unit Network with Self Attention, and Classification of ECG signals by dot Residual LSTM Network with Data Augmentation for Anomaly Detection.
