Sadia Sultana Chowa / ছোয়া

Melbourne, VIC, Australia

I am a first-year PhD student in the Department of Software Systems and Cybersecurity at Monash University, Australia. My research focuses on Large Language Models (LLMs), Computer Vision, and Artificial Intelligence, particularly in building intelligent vision–language systems and multimodal AI applications.
Previously, I worked as a remote Consultant – Research Assistant affiliated with Charles Darwin University, Australia, where I contributed to research projects in applied artificial intelligence.
Beyond my research, I am committed to supporting the next generation of AI researchers. I actively mentor students and early-stage researchers from Bangladesh through the Applied Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems Lab (AAIINS Lab), guiding them on AI-driven research projects and fostering collaborative learning in artificial intelligence.
