My Vision for 2026

As a student of Applied Statistics & Data Science (ISRT), my goal for this session is to integrate statistical rigor into our society’s research projects. I look forward to working alongside our newly elected President, Humayra Anjir, to: 1. Strengthen international research collaborations. 2. Launch data science and methodology workshops for undergraduates. 3. Foster a culture of evidence-based inquiry across all departments.
