Md Masum Billah | Press release
Bangladeshi researcher Md Masum Billah is advancing the application of artificial intelligence in healthcare and digital security, focusing on practical solutions for real-world challenges, said a press release.
Masum earned his Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Lamar University, specialising in machine learning, deep learning and applied data analytics. He is currently pursuing a second master’s degree in industrial engineering at the same institution, concentrating on secure digital healthcare systems, the release added.
His published research includes ‘Heart Disease Prediction Using Support Vector Machine,’ which applies machine learning to clinical data for early cardiovascular risk detection. In oncology, his paper ‘Breast Cancer Classification Using LightGBM and Support Vector Machine’ evaluates ensemble and kernel-based models to improve diagnostic accuracy while ensuring interpretability. Another study, ‘Skin Cancer Classification Using NASNet,’ uses deep learning and transfer learning to enhance early melanoma detection from medical images. He also authored ‘Lower Back Pain Prediction Applying Different Classification Algorithms Using WEKA,’ comparing models to support data-driven assessment of spinal disorders.
In 2025, Masum presented three peer-reviewed papers at the IEEE 7th Symposium on Computers & Informatics, focusing on network intrusion detection, IoT security and TinyML-based decentralised systems.
He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Rajshahi in 2019 and continues his graduate research at Lamar University.
