Dr. Sumaiya Tabassum Nimi is a computer science researcher and educator with deep expertise in machine learning, deep learning for resource-constrained environments, and few-shot/generalization tasks. She earned her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Missouri–Kansas City, where her research led to several high-impact publications on neural network optimization, out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, and edge-cloud collaborative AI.

With over seven years of university teaching experience—including current work as an Assistant Professor at North South University—she combines theoretical rigor with real-world application. Her interests now extend toward quantum machine learning and the intersections of computation and physics, reflecting a growing passion for interdisciplinary exploration.

Dr. Nimi is also the founder of the QuICK (Quantum mechanics guided Intelligent Computation for Knowledge-based systems) Research Group and an advocate for research-driven learning, having taught advanced topics like statistical learning methods and big data. She brings a unique blend of academic leadership, applied ML expertise, and curiosity-driven innovation to every endeavor.
