Hello and welcome to my site. I am Upal Mahbub, a PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Rama Chellappa in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Maryland, College Park. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor with the Department of EEE, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and currently I am on study leave. I have earned my M.Sc and B.Sc degrees from the Dept. of EEE, BUET.
I love traveling and hanging out with friends. I have much interest about different nations, cultures and languages. During my 2nd year in undergraduate studies I learned german in Goethe Institut Bangladesh and attended the ZD and Test Daf exams. Before joining BUET as a faculty, I also worked as a part time language instructor at Goethe Institut for several months. The method of teaching at Goethe Institut is quite different but much more effective then the general teaching methodologies followed in Bangladesh. I went through some training sessions at goethe institut before joining the workforce there and learned many great aspects of teaching. Apart from these, I love reading novels and story books very much. I am also very fond of movies and musics.
My research interest is Computer vision and pattern recognition. Currently I am working on face detection and recognition systems from video and still images. I am also interested in audio signal processing, especially acoustic Echo and Noise Cancellation, action and gesture recognition from video data etc.
This website will contain useful information for the students about the courses taken by me and various other topics. I would also like to share more about myself through this site.
