Trustworthy AI Lab · Wayne State University

Hi, I'm Mahbub Islam Mahim. I am a PhD student and Research Fellow in the Trustworthy AI Lab at Wayne State University, where I research trustworthy AI for healthcare, with a focus on medical imaging. Previously, I was a Senior Software Engineer at Samsung Research, where I built knowledge graph and reasoning systems using the RDFox engine in collaboration with Oxford Semantic Technologies, UK.

I completed my BSc and MSc in Computer Science & Engineering at Jahangirnagar University, and was awarded the National Science and Technology Fellowship during my studies. In February 2025, one of my research projects at Samsung earned an A1-grade patent, which I’m especially proud of.
