About Me
Hi, I'm Rahimul Islam Mazumdar, a Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, Assam, India. I completed my MS (Engg.) in the EEE department at IIT Guwahati and earned my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) with a specialization in Electronics and Communication Engineering from North Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Shillong, Meghalaya, India.
My research interests include computer vision–based distracted driving monitoring on embedded platforms, as well as signal processing and machine learning, with a focus on visual, cognitive, and manual driver distraction detection using AI-based safety systems.
Research
Research Area: Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Embedded Systems
PhD Topic: Computer Vision Approaches for Monitoring Distracted Driving Detection.
- Driver distractions can be categorised into three tracks:
- Visual Distraction – Taking eyes off the road.
- Cognitive Distraction – Taking mind off from the driving scene.
- Manual Distraction – Taking hands off from the steering wheel.
Supervisors:
Dr. Anirban Dasgupta
Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics & Electrical Engineering, IIT Guwahati
Dr. Parijat Bhowmick
Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics & Electrical Engineering, IIT Guwahati
