This is Rokon. I am a Computer Science PhD student at Louisiana State University, advised by Dr. Reza Anaraky in the ACT Lab. My research lies at the intersection of LLM, Human-AI Interaction, and Privacy, with a current focus on simulating human behavior, reasoning, and attitude through LLM agents.
Previously, I was an R&D Software Engineer at Frontier Semiconductor (Milpitas, CA), where I built CUDA-accelerated metrology software shipped to TSMC, Intel, SK Hynix, and Texas Instruments.
I am actively looking for Summer 2027 internship opportunities.

Towards Designing Intuitive Mobile UIs Considering Tapping Behaviour of Elderly Users
Md Rokonuzzaman Reza, Md Shadman Aadeeb, Shaqran Bin Saleh, Muhammad Nazrul Islam
Springer DIGICOM 2023 DIGICOM Conference
An empirical study of how older adults interact with mobile interfaces through tapping. Identifies patterns in tap accuracy, target size preferences, and gesture comfort, then derives design guidelines for elderly-friendly mobile UIs.
