Research

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at SUST is a recognized leader in technological innovation in Bangladesh. Our research strength lies in our ability to bridge theoretical depth with practical application. We are pioneers in Natural Language Processing (NLP), driving the digitization of the Bangla language through advanced machine translation and speech recognition systems. Beyond language, our faculty leads cutting-edge investigations in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and AI, creating intelligent solutions for healthcare, agriculture, and social inclusion. With a robust foundation in Distributed Systems, Cyber Security, and Data Science, we are committed to engineering solutions that address the critical challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. 


Driven by a commitment to excellence, our research landscape is defined by four core pillars:

Language & Speech Processing: We are at the forefront of developing resources for Bangla, including Machine Translation (Statistical & Neural), Speech Recognition, and Text-to-Speech synthesis.

AI & Human-Computer Interaction: From emotion recognition and computer vision to VR applications for autism and digital health, we design technology that understands and serves people.

ICT for Development: We leverage computing power to solve local challenges in agriculture, rural development, and maternal health.

Systems & Security: Our labs are actively exploring the frontiers of Wireless Networks, Distributed Computing, and Blockchain technology to build secure, scalable infrastructure.
